Rep Power: 786

I want to get rid of my stupid red LED that came with my alarm and put an LED scanner in it's place. The one thing on my mind is that since the LED blinks and I am guessing the alarm just turns it off and on, that if I install a scanner, the scanner would just turn off and on as well, and not actually do any of the scanning functions because it's turning off too quick.

If this is the case, what can I do to fix this and put a scanner on my alarm?

it could be jsut a blinking led. they have a costant power source not an alternating one. should be able to jsut conect it.

There is no circruity to cause it to be a blinking LED

Or do they make LED's that blink without having a circuit that just blink with only having 2 wires hooked up?

yeah they make leds that jsut blink on there own... i dont know how but they do... i see them all the time at liek radio shack and stuff

Yeah. I had problems with this at first. You have to tap into the orange wire on the alarm itself and hook that to the scanner. It is a constant ground from when the alarm is armed instead of the pulsing ground that the regular LED is hooked up to.

So you could do like a nightrider thing in the front grill hooked up to your alarm?? That would be kinda cool!

yeah that could be done

i just hooked up my install to constant and switched power so that it comes on whenever i pull the key out, not exactly on the alarm, but good enough

I was gonna do that, but it didn't take a whole lot of extra effort to hook it to the alarm.. just gotta find that orange wire.

So what you are saying is if I was to walk out of your store with 2 handfuls of merchandise, you'd pretend not to notice?

 
Rep Power: 361

What if I sent a hot looking girl in there to do it for me?

 
Rep Power: 361

lol, then i would make her put the stuff back and i would bring her into the back room to give her a good spanking!

What if she showed you her boobies on the way out to take your attention off of what she's stealing?
