I have a set of undercar neons that i want to hook up to my alarm so that when i push a button on the remote the neons will turn on and stay on untill i push the button again, the only problem is that my alarm only has a 2 second ground accessory output, is there any way i could wire this, and if so how? Thanx

use the latched relay setup on the special apps relay page. replace the momentary switch with your alarm output

What i did to my buddies car was hooked it up to his alarm and when ever he turned on his headlight the underglow would come and and he could control it by his alarm switch as well.

you still need a latched ouput for that to work. his alarm prbobably already has the function built in. unclebuck's alarm does not. it has a momentary output. that's why he needs to use either a latched relay or the 5 spdt relay setup on the special apps page. if using a latched relay, it must be single coil latching relay and NOT require a reversal in polarity to disengage. that type is hard to find... i found it easier to use the 5relay setup instead.
