HOW do you program the 160xv WITH a bitwriter? Or WITHOUT a bitwriter?

As soon as you hook the Brown wire up to the horn the horn blows? Or the horn trigger OUTPUT is programmed for too long?

Is this unit grounded or even wired properly? Or press the disarm button on the remote. Some units will trigger a full alarm on powering up.

So the modulr has power and ground, and the Brown wire has a constant ground on it? If so, the module is bad. Where did you get/buy it?

I had a few 160Xv/5500 modules LOSE their horn output, but never a latched horn output.

I even had one that wouldnt honk for lock/unlock, but worked for panic!

If we can assume that brown wire sits on ground at rest and you've wired the siren red to live and black to the brown that would do it.

I believe the brown sits on either ground or open circuit (never had to find out!)

It then outputs 12volts in alarm trigger mode.

Horn or siren? Doesn't the horn output signal ground and the siren 12volts! Have you tried the valet button?
