Honda Accord alarm problems

im not sure what alarm you have, but most of them have programmable options like silent arm/disarm, etc.  look through your owners manual for a section on this.  it is usually performed through a series of ignition on/off cycles and flipping the valet/override switch on and off  a given number of times.oh, god... what did i do now??

HelloThanks for your response. There is an option to silent arm, but a sequence of buttons have to be pressed on the remote for this to work - which is not ideal, I just want to press one button and that's it!, also when a silent arm is performed, not all the triggers are armed.Ant suggestions anyone??Tim Taylor

setup a relay circuit that works on a delay, something that won't be triggered by the 1/2 second pulses.

Thanks yakky,How would I setup a circuit like this?I have a basic understanding how relays work but I'm not sure how to create a delay...Tim Taylor

https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=6887&KW=delayThat thread has some details. Let me know what values you end up using, I'm going to do the same with my siren, except I want to soften the chirps so I'll be adding a seperate lead with some resisitors to power the siren at low volume.

Thanks yakky,I had a look at the link, but its in a electronic language I don't understand.I know its a combination of relay, resistor(s) & capacity, (values?) but how they connect together and connect in the alarm/siren circuit, I have not got a clue. I think I need to see a sketch of how the components go together for me to understand whats going on....Many thanks.Tim Taylor

What alarm model is it? What he was getting at is most alarms have in the brain programming sequence a way to disable the chirps. The remote is just a temp bypass, he was speaking of less temporary method.

Hello, I need help and advice - in layman's terms please.I want to trigger a relay coil only when there is positive supply (+12V) of 1-2 sec or longer or when the supply is constant. But to ignore a pulse of 0.5sec.I've searched through the forums, and I think it can be achived by using a capcitor and resistor - but how they are connected up and their values I don't have a clue...Can anyone help?Tim Taylor

use a resistor to slow the charge to the cap. prob. start with low ohm resistor ...just experiment to get the time right maybe 10ohm and 100uf  dont be a pet monkey ..use your dmm

Thanks for your suggestions, but how do I connect up the capacitor and resistor? in series or in parallel, inline or does one side of the capacitor connect to ground?Anymore suggestions would be grateful...ThanksTim Taylor
