Come on experts come in with some advice on this one. I've obviously ran a series of ADAVANCED diagnostics a seasoned PRO would run. I'd hate to think I'm smarter than all the people on this forum (I know that is not the case).

I'm surprise no one even mentioned to use a relay with a 12v constant (the .3v would be enough to trip the relay) on the parking lights wire on the alarm. I mean this is pretty basic in my book.

thanks.

the parking light wire you are triggering in your car, controls a factory relay....plus the one in the alarm brain....do you really think you need another?

.3V is not enough to trip a relay. Output is bad.

Thanks auex - exactly the answer I was looking for.

KarTuneMan - the output is not strong enough to power the lights but I was thinking it would be enough to trip a relay connected to 12V which will in turn provide 12V to the lights (auex gave me the right answer and the .3v is not enough to trip relay).

Any other workaround you can suggest? I was thinking to run a relay of the siren wire, what do you think?

Anyway Asian Wolf's warranty sucks...They'll void it if it is not installed by a shop but they cover it if a shop tech fries the brain (this is in writing it came with my alarm)....Mine was dead out of the box pretty much, I connected it to the right wires which showed 12V only when the light switch was on and 0 when off...defective POS rebranded Skytek...learned my lesson and will never in my life buy from them again.
