Can anyone also tell me if I have a neutral safety wire. One of the wiring charts I have lists the wire, but I haven't been able to find it. Is this wire only for automatics?

I have a manual version of the Scytek 5000RS-2W and am considering swaping it into my manual car.

The only probelm is: The car needs to be turbo timed (continue running for a minute or two after stopped) as it has a turbocharger. But the method used by manual-safe alarms is to have the car shut off when you close the door, not allowing the car to be turbo timed.

So my question is: Is there a way using an aftermarket turbo timer that the car can stay running? I.e. Can the immediate shutdown be bypassed for a minute or so by the turbo timer? The safety function would remain the same as far as I can tell so I don't see why they wouldn't have this option built into the unit as the 5000RS-2W and other alarms already have a turbo timer fuction (which cannot be used with the remote start function on manual versions).

Any help would be appreciated!

Set your remote start run time for a "short" run. Before getting out set the car for remote start but before you open the door hit the start button... the car "should" stay running for the pre programmed run time!

Can anyone tell me how many milliamps an alarm should typically draw when not armed and the car off, and how many milliamps the alarm's antenna should be drawing? Does 25 mA for the whole alarm and about 10 mA for the antenna alone seem normal? Total draw is around 57mA. Alarm is a 2-way paging, remote start, etc. unit. From the other posts I've read total draw should be ideally under 30mA. Is that right?

Should my anti-grind relay be wired like this? The diagram in the alarm's manual is slightly different, the only difference being (I think) the 85 pole is going to the ignition wire on the alarm instead of being tied into the starter wire.

Or should it be wired like this?

I have it wired like this. My diode is also facing the opposite direction as the diagram above. Is that how it should be?

The diode is backwards in your picture. The band of the diode has to be on the positive wire.

I don't like to see the current draw above 50mA. Ideally, from the factory a car, at idle, will draw less then 35mA so that gives you about a 15mA buffer for an alarm system.

Alright, thanks for the help. Well can anyone tell me if 10mA for the alarm's antenna alone seems high? Without that draw, the alarm would be pulling 15mA just like you said it should KPierson. Which would put the total draw at under 50mA. So does that seem like a short on the antenna wiring or just a badly designed antenna?

Also, does this draw (57mA) sound like something that would drain a battery pretty quickly? I have only tested the draw with the alarm unarmed and car off. So I don't know what it is drawing if it is armed or the r/s has been activated. Can I test this the same way with my DMM?

From the manual, it looks like it only has two r/s run times: 15 min and 25 min. Would the car turbo time for this long, or is there something I'm missing? The only other thing I can think of is that the alarm has a port for connecting to a computer to modify its settings, but I don't know what options are available.
