People will probley say don’t bother as there a waste of cash but they come in handy if your in a rush Make sure if you have an alarm on the car that the turbo timer is compatible with the alarm

Got a Blitz one. Had it for ages, the best thing about it is the accurate digital voltmeter and warnings.

And im going to be the one to say it.........if you have a Category 1 Alarm they are useless as you can't arm the alarm until the car has switched off..........

use one of your alarms outputs as a timer instead

FUCK THAT

Get rid of the turbo timer!!

The immobiliser wont arm until the circuits it immobilises have no power running through them. To remove that for the sake of a turbo timer would be crazy

but thats just it.....the alarm wont arm. You will be able to remotely lock the doors and the immobiliser will arm after switch off, but no alarm..........

AND a LOT of people still leave the anti hijack feature on their alarm, so when the car turns off.........it unlocks the doors for you........................

Do you see what im trying to say?
