Subject:Re: Alarm with power door locks?

What brand and where did you get it?  I'm impressed that you hooked up the
slider and rear doors too.  I'm not concerned about theft of the vehicle
(I'd get LoJack if I was}, it's the deterrent factor I'm after to keep punks
from stealing stuff from the van, a very common activity these days.  I need
the sound to do that!!

Thanks!

Stuart

> Let me know what you have done.

I've installed a generic alarm / central locking kit, with a remote fob.
I've wired up the cut out to the fuel pump, so a potential thief will run
the battery flat, rather than realise there's an immobiliser.  I picked up a
sliding door connector from EBay so the slider has central locking (needed
relays, as the controller wasn't sending enough power to trigger it
properly), and I've wired the rear  servo up as a remote trunk release.  No
siren wired up to the alarm, as they just annoy people from what I've seen
:o)  I did have a friend suggest I install the siren, then put in a switch
for it, but I've had other things to do.

toodle pip,
