LOL ! Sorry bout that I did not see where you are. My fault ! Thanks anyway for all your help!

Don't worry vegeta, we aren't quite a backwoods yet, I can still send emails and photos from my phone and yes we've heard of Google out in the sticks! I was just being silly.

Connect to your lock wire.

Thanx for your help Tedmond! It have a disarm wire but no arm other then the rely ones a messed up. But it does have the horn wire. But won't it send a (-) signal both when I arm arm disarm. and there for try to lock the doors with the horn wire and unlock the doors with the (-) disarm wire at the same time when I disarm the car ? Or am I missing something ?

What Ted was saying is that a single horn pulse on arm will lock the vehicle, double on disarm will unlock without the lock side being affected.

Ok I got ya to a point. But how would I wire that?

For anyone not familiar with this system here is a link to the manual if it would help. http://autoalarmspecialists.com/files/product_astra_security_7T7_manual.pdf

These are easy enough for anyone to fix as long as you have a soldering iron (which you should have if you are installing this alarm). I would look to repair the unit before going through all this trouble to come up with a work around.

Ok I think I can handle that for sure. The traces are basically the connection between the relay point right?

Yes

thanks Howie

just connect horn output from unit to the car's lock wire. and use the unlock to the unlock wire on the car. No tricks, just simple connections.Ted
