Driver Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 right my wanky argos special alarm finally packed up the other day so i thought i may aswell spend some money and get a CAT1 alarm and get central locking fitted at same time (Glanza V P-sport model with no C/L) but i have a turbo timer and obviously the imobiliser will be bypassed if i have turbo timer in loosing its CAT1 status, i know you can get cliffords with turbo timers built in but there not CAT1 as the imobiliser is bypassedwondering what everyone else does about this ?? loose the turbo timer or dont go CAT1 ??

DavidAshton Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 You still get CAT 1 status with a turbo timer if its built into the alarm. It looses its CAT 1 status if its an aftermarket turbo timer thats not part of the alarm system. Or so the alarm people told me when doing mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 as above you can get a cat1 alarm with a built in TT but if you keep your after market TT the cat1 will not apply some alarms also wont work with an aftermarket TT in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 spoke to alarm fitter and hes says any of the alarms with built in TTs arnt CAT1 aproved as they make it stupidly easy to bypass imobiliser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dobbs Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 dont know if this helps but alot of alarms come with a by-pass for if your cooling fan stays on after ingnition is turned off.. i imagin there must be a way to wire this into your TT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EN V Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 the problem i had was when i set the greddy turbo timer my clifford would not activate nor would it lock the doorswhich is not good but a friend of mine who does alarms fitted a couple of diodes in 2 wires and now the alarm sets with the engine still running.where abouts you from bud if your close he would be able to sort it for youjohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
