Hello all... My girlfriend just bought a car which has a DEI "your Valet" system installed but has no information in the car about the alarm. This system does strange things and we've had the keys locked in the car 4 times in the last month due to the auto rearming. But there is no flashing dash LED or parking lamp flashes or even horn honks... it appears they had just wired it up strictly for door locking.
I've narrowed it down to be a 711t or 710t. The module is rectangle and completely inclosed except for 2 (didnt count wires) connectors. I've removed the starter kill relay and jumped the pins to deactivate that part since it lets us start the car whenever it feels like it. The entire system looks to be everything in this picture --> https://www.drdetailshop.com/711t.htm
My questions:
I located this post --> https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=8818&KW for a basic print out (altho pins are also on the alarm module as well). I dont know if this pinout has been altered or anything, but it is my opinion that wiring diagrams should not be posted to that extent on the internet (but thats just me) altho it helped me out a little :P Even without the diagram it took me only a minute or two to locate the interupt relay and bypass it, and the brain is easily accessible in this car with the pinout directly visible, these guys did a terrible job with the wiring and should be shot!
Can I just cut the Ignition input wire to keep the module from relocking the doors every time we start the car? If not, does anyone know the procedue to enter programming mode or what option that anti-carjacking mode would be? I've located the valet switch but not sure if its even hooked up, I imagine you just have a KOKOFF cycle you have to perform then a series of valet presses but without horn or flashing LED I doubt I can figure it out.
I dont really expect anyone to post up how to program an alarm or anything on a public forum, but you could always pm me.
I figured I'd ask first since she has the car at work and I dont feel like taking a long time under the dash if that ignition wire won't help my problem. (she is picky about her car and what work is done to it) So If anyone knows anything, please feel free to PM me.
Thanks,
BDP
On the module should have the name and model number of it.
Well, good news... I finally got ahold of the car for the day to do a tune up and was able to get all this done.
I was correct on the ignition input wire, once it was disabled, the module worked just as a keyless entry system and bypassed all the other non-sence that was turned on. I hooked up the trunk release and parking lamp confirmation and luckily (probably by default) both were activated in the programming. Unfortunetely the alarm itself has a terrible transmitter range either due to poor quality/ weak battery or just it being a "cheap" alarm system in general. I really dont like the fact that this is the third alarm system that I've seen recently that has the wiring diagram molded into the back of the casing, it literally only took about 5 or 6 minutes remove under-dash panels and disable the ignition input and run a extention lead for parking lamps... this of course was mainly the fault of the previous installers putting the module above the brake peddle.
Anywho, thanks for the bandwidth and your time (if anyone actually read this thread).
