hi everyone. I am just an amateur with car alarms and I have the following question. How can I hook up the alarm in order for it to be able to arm while the engine is running? I am trying to use a separate turbo timer and I would like to arm the alarm when I leave the car and the timer my counting down. Btw my alarm is a healthy 10 + year old Viper 300. It's got the regular hookup w/ starter kill relay.

Thanks in advance if anyone can explain what to do.

why do u you need the alarm to go of while driving!

if you are trying to make noise on the street try holding panic button while driving.

I am not trying to make any noise. I just want to be able to arm the alarm when my turbo timer is counting down and engine is running. This way I can get out of the car and arm the car while engine is still running under the turbo timer countdown.

the alarm system uses the ignition wire for that when the ignition is on it wont arm. you would have to use a swith on that wire. u cant disconect it completly because its needed for programing or passive door locks.

try disconecting the wire and using the alarm while car the car is on.

you may run into issues with your shock sensor as the car is running. Vibration may set off your alarm. Are there any extra out puts on the alarm you could use to build a relay to disable the sensor.

i know the ultra alarms you cant have run then arm it because the ignition wire will shut it off. with a remote start and alarm you can have it arm while running...

I will try taking off the ignition wire to see happens. and i do have extra outputs from the alarm although i dont think the vibration from the car will set the alarm off. if it does, i will turn the sensor sensitivity down.

Set it up for passive arming. When the turbo timer shuts the car off it will lock and arm itself.
