Just done this - great tip thanks.

Only point to add is that if you get a small, thin flat head and push it along the line of the two 'slots' on the top you will feel the plug loosen, it then just slides out. Until I susse that it was impossible, but when i did that a 2 second job.

Nice

Hi all.

Just completed this mod as well.

It took longer to get the passenger door to unlock with the key (it was siezed Evil or Very Mad , required some wd40 and Censored abuse) than it did to remove the plug.

Thanks for the info! Thumbs Up

Chris.

Anyone know how long the battery will support the horn sounding before it is too flat to start the engine?

I'm presuming the sounder has its own little battery and would keep on fa Censored ing if the vehicle battery was disconnected by a thief. What we really need is a LOUD battery-backed sounder that can be fitted as a replacement.

What do you alarm engineers out there suggest?

Alarm only sounds for a set period of time before re-setting itself. If you unlock the car and the indicators flash quickly, then you know that someone has set it off Thumbs Up
