Waste of time mate i wouldnt even bother especially if you have a category 1 alarm.

Can't tell you too much without knowing what wire is for what on the timer anyway, without it your guess is as good as mine!

Here's the diagram for mine: could be the same..but better to get it checked by proper auto-electrician imo.

They'll also know which wire is which on the iginition.

Well iirc the thin black one is very long?? Well that is handbrake one. Then the red, green, blue as above in the diagram. Mine was cheap one from halfords, the auto timer works on the current from the ignition. Works pretty well. I will take picture of where wires go if it helps.

im fitting it as i have reomoved the water cooling from my turbo and i cant be trusted to let the car cool down

yer rs orion sound right to me mate nice one

If you've got a cat 1 alrm make sure you wire before the alarm on the ignition, otherwise the alarm will only activate valet mode

SafeChav

How do you wire before the igniton?!

rs shawn

I don't think you need to evenif you could tbh..unless you rag your car all the way to your doorstep. Mine's a stand-alone unit and by the time I've parked, switched ignition off (so turbo timer kicks in), taken out stereo, got my mobile, bag and jacket and anything else I need, fitted disc-lock and then got out of the car and shut the doors it has normally counted down and killed the ignition. Then you simply press the key-fob yourself on the alarm to set it. Job done.

nah still wanna fit it,

what ya been before the ignition???? i have had the auto arm removed from my alarm as i locked my keys in more times than id like to say

not it only works when key fob is pressed

any one wired one on????

SafeChav

Ive never heard of such terminology as wiring before the ignition, hence my reason for asking above.

As far as turbo timers go if you wire one in, if you have a category 1 alarm you wont be able to fully arm your car until its turned off, hence why turbo timers are a waste of space (and yes i do have a turbo timer )

marky_g

safe shave how do did u fit it then

RSOrion

I will take some pics 2morro in daylight of it.

marky_g

cheers son just round the black box area nice one

SafeChav

The same way as everyone else, and yes i have to wait for the car to knock off before i can arm my alarm.

They are very useless believe me.

Have your alarm set up to be a turbo timer, that way you won't have to wait and if you do it yourself it will also be free

marky_g

it will be free as i have the timer sitting here infront of me, my alarm wont work that way i want to use mt timer just need some pic or someone to tell me what wire to conet what to and where to connect

rs shawn

Get an auto-elect to do it. Mine csot me Ł20 to fit. Job done..and they do all the messing about removing the dials if nesccesary to fit the h/brake wire (to the red h/brake illumination wire before anyone asks ).

RSOrion

I just connected my handbrake one to the feed from the handbrake itself near the front right speaker. Theres enough wire there to do it and i didnt have to take any interior trim out. Yes i am bout to take pics now wen it stops raining.

SafeChav

The ignition colours you want are:

Permenant 12v = Red
Auxiliary Wire = Yellow
Switched Ignition Feed = Black/Yellow
Starter Solenoid Wire = Black/Blue

marky_g
