Turbo Timer Problem

I searched a couple of times, but I haven't seen a thread regarding to TT and Alarm System not functioning correctly...

I got my apexi turbo timer installed today but when I get off my car, it won't let me lock the car while it's running ... anybody had this problem before? is there any bypass or wire to cut so I can lock my car while it's running?

and what does the gray wire do that connects to the emergency brake?

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated!!!

I know they make some alarms with the TT feature on it...in my case, when I engage my alarm, it goes off while the car is still running but the doors are locked and the car is still running so whenever the car does shut off, the alarm is still engaged but I'm sure there is a better way around this...hey u electronic guys, where u at...theres a guy in my club with the feature on his alarm...I'll ask him tomorrow on what exactly does he have and get back with you

It's a kill switch. It's for if you leave your car and someone breaks into it while it's still going. As soon as the e-brake is dropped, the car dies.

^^^I think my connection is messed up, I'll try to splice it up this time.. and see if it does... coz when i put the ebrake down the engine still run... did you guys installed the wire while the ebrake down? coz I installed mine when it was up... does it really matter?

yeah its gonna run and my TT (greddy) flashes red but still counts down...it stops flashing red when I put the brake up...but if u take the KEY OUT and try to drive it while the TT is going, the engine should die but u can still control your windows and/or sunroof but not radio...well at least on mine

some people said it kills the engine when you disengage the ebrake... mine still runs and when I drove it was going then it died out when the time expires on the TT...

Let me know if any of you guys figured out this TT ebrake kill switch...
