blue alarm scanner?

sup guys just wanted to ask if it's ok to hook up the yellow wire on this scanner for ground when armed to a 12 volt power when ignition is switched to on position to turn off the scanner and no power when off to activate the scanner. wires are red,black,yellow would it hurt anything???

No it's not. The YELLOW wire is expecting a (-) signal and at rest is is probably nothing, so if you add 12 volts to this wire, you will fry the circuit.Jeff

Hopefully your +12v is fused and you'll blow the fuse before you fry the circuit though.    2002 Toyota Sequoia Limited 2WD (Clifford G5 Avantguard 5 w/ 2 SmartWindows modules) - IT Engineer - NRA Life Member - LDS Return Missionary - Married for time AND ETERNITY - Eternally sealed family

i think those things are designed to beable to maybe take that... i saw a kid hook it up like that before with no problems,,, no garentee because i don't know modle differences,, but i think you might actually be ok,, because of the fact that any ground switching circut will show a positive at the ground wire when the ground is disconected, they would probably have built in protectionBad Boys Customs

If you use it. Suport it. Donate to the 12 volt!
