New Car - few questions

[Madz]

Shouldn't you have spotted it when you were checking out the spare and associated toolkit as well as checking for soundness and rust etc before you bought it?

hahaha... yeah .... ..well...what can I say in my defence - 1 lady owner, lived nearby.... actually it's funny though because I did think for a while she'd stiffed me on the jack/toolkit - I opened up the left side panel where the hazard picture is and it was empty! Wasn't happy.....but now I've found all the gear cradled inside the spare!

Cheers for the welcome!

Well, I've got my immobiliser in and I now have keyless entry! Yay! It plays nicely with the factory system - I was worried when I had it half installed and then found the factory system requires a double pulse to unlock the doors (single pulse to lock). I think the first unlock pulse must be to disable the factory alarm (if one is fitted) - apparently this is a standard setup though as the jaycar alarm handled it no probs. For anyone who might be interested, the immobiliser is the Jaycar "Shadow" 3 point immobiliser (standards approved). It's not a trivial thing to DIY, particularly if you're concerned about blending the wiring in neatly under the dash.

I haven't hooked it up to flash the indicators yet as I read that you can program the standard Comfort and Convenience Module to flash the indicators when locking/unlocking the car - so I want to try that first. Will post back how I go. Speaking of the Comfort and Convenience Module mine most guys on the net talk about these having two plugs - a 23 pin and a 15 pin plug. Mine only has the 23 pin plug - anyone know what the extra functionality is in the other??
