Re: [DML] Purchased Delorean 4912 - alarm activates

["doctor who" <ohwrd@xxxx>]

If I remember correctly car alarms qualify as radio devices and therefore it 
should have an FCC id number printed on either the exterior case or the 
circuit guts somewhere. Then you just take that FCC id to the FCC webpage 
and punch in the number, it should tell you the name of the manufacturer of 
the device and often times you can get the model number from that as well. 
I've used this site before to identify randomn computer boards so that I can 
find the manufacturer to download drivers.

Most manufacturers of electronic devices have the wiring diagrams up on 
their website and either offer them for free or fee as a pdf download. I 
just hope this thing isnt wired into your ignition. Some alarms have tamper 
features on them that will in no uncertain terms disable your car. Depending 
on the alarms features and how talented the installer was.

cordain

You can do this but please note that if the alarm goes off and is not
disactivated then it is possible that it will run down your battery.

Also, have you looked up under the dash to determine yourself what
type of unit you have? Sometimes it's very easy to find the alarm
box and read the make and model on it. Be sure to get all info off
the box because you never know which is actually the model number.
If it's not too old then you may be able to find the install info on
the manufacturer's web site. This was how I "cleaned up" all the
wiring on the alarm when I bought my car. My alarm was newer though.
