DIY: Booty Call

By popular demand


Please excuse the drawing, i am not good at using photoshop so i used MS Paint! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]


Nobody likes to honk to catch attention.. so here's the...


DIY: Booty Call Siren w/ Momentary Switch


Parts Needed:

-Siren ($10-15 You can get any kind at any alarm shop)

Or buy one on ebay.

-Momentary Push-button Switch ($2-3 see links below... 2 kinds)

Switch 1

Switch 2

Pick whichever you like best. I'm using Switch 1, but switch 2 is "softer".

-Fuse Holder w/ 10 amp fuse ($2-4 see links below... 2 kinds)

Fuse Holder1

Fuse Holder 2

-12-16 Gauge Wiring ($5-6 Find it at radioshack or pepboys. You will need 15ft at least)


For around $20, it's a fun DIY


Visual Instructions:




Pretty self-explanatory. I don't feel like typing instructions... this DIY is so easy anyway.


edit: you don't have to hook it up to the battery, it's easier if you tap the power cable to the radio's 12v source...

*Waiting for SoCal 7th Gens to reply...*


Any questions?


Now don't say this is a gay DIY, or i will smack you.

Of course.

Oh and when you're ready to test, you must press the button in 1/2 second bursts.

Yet a third diy version for those who are even lazier and dont want to have to tap the switch, for those who just want to flip a switch and have it tapped for you in 1/2 second intervals, sorry this one wont have pics, because i doubt most of you know what this is, and if you DO know, you wont need pics, but, here goes.


noramlly, one would just use a flip flop switch on a timer circuit, but heres the problem, a flip flop switch wouldnt be able to handle toe 12 volts and 3 amps that a siren would draw, so we would have to bring a relay into it.

Basically what we would be doing here is turning a pulsed input into a latched output using the correct flip flop,

as for the timer circuit, you would need to use a potentiometer (or just straight resistors) potentiometer is cooler because you could change the speed of the on and off with the turn of a ****,

also, we gotta remember that gates use 5 volt power, so we would need a 5 volt relay to trigger the whole shabang.

list of materials, correct flip flop, timer circuit, potentiometer, 5 volt relay, on-off switch

i will not give more instructions, nor will i give a detailed DIY, since i havent quite tried it myself, also, please don't pm me asking how to do this.. lol

hey AK.... what kind of siren do you have? and do all the sirens sound the same when you hook up the bootie call thing or is the sound based on the sound of your alarm when it is set off?

Couldn't you just tap the siren into the stereo's constant 12V wire... then you wouldnt have the need for a fuse holder/fuse.... correct? And what about the switch... do i ground it?

I have a 6 tone. I don't think it really matters because you are pushing the button in 1/2 second bursts.

You could tap it, never thought of that. Switch has 2 ends: 1 power wire from 12V source and the other one goes to battery. No grounding wire for switch.
