The only way to do this would be to connect the neg unlock wire to a 528t, this will give you power to the mirror poppers for up to 5 minutes after turning off the alarm. Is the mirror popper switch wired neg or pos, in other words when you push it does this give a neg or positive output, tell me which and I'll post a diagram.

This is the only way to do it, it will only power the popper for 5 minutes after you disarm.

Hi howie
i just found a way of doing it, my four pin relay bring 30 and 86 power, 87 door popper, 85 switch the other end of the switch wire go the the negative wire on my fire wire central locking motor so when unlock the wire form central locking motor feeds an earth to the switch wire which then will open the door and when lock the earth ground at neutal so button will not work! hope that make sense lol

No it doesn't and your relay being constantly engaged will flatten your battery also yesterday you said your switch was pos. Make up your mind.

i was going to run pos but found out the switch will all be poss and dont like the idea of it shorting out in he door, that why i change to go neg, i was told there will be no power drain as there be no current drawn when lock!

Of course the other choice would be to dispense with the buttons on the mirror and use an aux output to fire the relay directly, that's how I usually do it.
