Supplies
A few wire straps, (Calterm p/n 69360 found at checker/shucks/kragen)
Electrical Tape
Solder and a soldering iron
a few inches of rubber hose (to tap the FPR line)
5 or so feet 16 gauge wire
In this example, we used a Blitz Dual Turbo Timer, DC Version purchased from Alamo Motorsports, but Options Auto Salon has better prices and harnesses.
Step
Remove the lower dash panel, two screws below and one plastic screw on the left side panel. Pull from the bottom to loosen and then pull the top parts straight out. Rest panel on floor. Look for the blue connector for the ignition wires. Looking in with the tab on the left, the wires are as follows:Top Right - 12 +Bottom Right - AccessoryBottom Left - IgnitionYou can either connect the harness, or splice into the factory wires if you did not get a harness. Only attach the 12+ and the Ignition wire, do not attach the accessory wire to the turbo timer. The accessory wire at the ignition juction must be tapped and a length of wire must be run to the alarm module located above the fuse panel. Look directly above the fuse panel and you will see it. Remove the connector and look for a dark green wire with a black strip (there are two green/black wires, make sure it's the darkest green of the two). Cut the wire and attach the length of wire to the module side. Tape off the extra green/black wire. Another juction must be made from the accessory wire from the ignition harness. This must go to the other alarm module located in the center console. Remove the plastic piece that surrounds the parking brake (piece where the mirror controls are). Pull up from the back, it's just a snap in piece. There is a grey wire that goes to the sensor module. You must cut this wire and splice the accy wire on the module side. Tape the extra grey wire to the side. This splice will allow the alarm to be set while the TT is counting down. Ground the TT, and then mount the remote panel. Test it out and then put the car back together and have fun. Also if anyone wants to add sensors to their stock alarm you can do this by tapping one wire if you have a gound signal type sensor, which most are. On the comfort control module there are 2 connectors one is a 15 pin connector, on this connector wire 1 is again a brown and red wire, tap tis wire like you did all the others and you can run the signal wire from any sensor and it will trip the alarm. all it does is make the car think the hood was opened. Very simple and it does work. Add this with an extra LED and better siren and you will have the features of a 500 alarm for less then 50 bucks and retain the stock remote.
