uhh... yeah...

So, are you saying that, when the alarm is armed, you want the headlights and DVD player to turn off?

The DVD player should turn off when the vehicle is off.  As far as the headlights go, you could wire a relay so that they can only be on when the ignition is on.

I'm not a professional installer. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

Well.....first question I have is, who sold you the Compustar? Second is the year?

Next, what is it you are having issue with?

Headlights, DVD, DVD screens, your battery, the power windows....or another accesory.

This is too much to handle in one post....... SO, take a deep breathe and list ONE dilemma at a time.

sounds like you want to shut off your lights and dvd player with a relay when you turn your alarm on..the problem is the relay would stay energized when you turn your alarm on, assumming you use a ground when armed wire, which will drain your battery..whenever using relays make sure you use a fuse.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
