Introduction:
This is an autotoys.com installation. One of several
hundred by the staff of autotoys.com
This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real
cars for over 18 years.
Online for over 10 years, when you buy a product from us,
we give you real support when you need it.
Instant access to answers through our customer forums. With thousands
of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your
installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio,
car alarms and auto accessories.
Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products
in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors,
radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront).
Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar
products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want
a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront).
Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is
ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or
forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer
products.
Sales People (be careful!)::
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through
our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords,
questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple..
the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not
buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake
by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop
up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person)
with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.
No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever!
They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake!
Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are
proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with
the newest products.
Many people want to add Domelight Supervision to their vehicles if their alarm is equipped with a output to light their entry when disarming the alarm in the night.
Most alarms come with a low voltage GROUND output for Domelight Supervision. This circuit cannot be tied directly into the domelight or door pinswitch wire for several reasons. This is usually a low voltage ground, less than 250ma because it is transistorized. If you tie it directly into the car's circuit, it will probably burn the alarm's output because the domelight wire usually has a feedback from the interior light bulb. Also, if you own a FORD vehicle or some other vehicle that has a 12V domelight pinswitch, sending a negative to a + will not mix well. The ONLY time you can tie into the alarm domelight supervision wire into the factory domelight is when you find the FACTORY DOMELIGHT SUPERVISION wire. Most cars with Keyless entry keypads on the doors will have such a trigger. If you are not qualified or experienced enough to find this wire, use the alternative method with a 30 amp BOSCH equivalent relay.. if you do not have one, we will provide one for you with connectors for a nominal charge -- with your order or after it, or if you bought your alarm somewhere else, we will still send it to you for only the shipping and packing fees -- we are committed to your satisfaction.
