has anyone done this mode and used something other than the tiny piezo tweeter that they show in the write up? if so what did u use? thanx!

p.s. NEW BOARD ROX!

 

run a relay from what would switch the piezo tweeter to the main horn and now you have a horn honk, might be a bit too loud tho.

 

thats what i was worried about so i was looking for an intermediate device that wouldnt be TOO loud but yet louder than the tweeter

 

I want to know more also, I installed the buzzer and I can barely hear it if not at all. Could u hook up just one of the horns because your car has two I believe.

 

each horn plays a dif freq. one would be quieter, but still too loud.

 

.....so what else is there?

 

has anyone hooked the relay up to the horn? most new cars use the horns to audibly verify youre car is locked/alarm is armed.

 

yeah i wouldn't mind doing that actually, anyone done it? how do we do it?

 

Take a look at this

4th Gen Maxima Alarm Beep

Hope this helps!

 

I did this, and mounted the piezo outside under the bumper, much more louder now. Just buy the loudest piezo you can, also I skipped the relay, piezo only draws 50mA max...

 

thanx but i am looking for a way for it to be louder than just that piezo speaker

 

just get an aftermarket air horn system and use that. all you have to do is connect it to the horn relay.

 

where is the horn relay? and which wire would i use to get the horn to beep when i arm n disarm

 

well i have an aftermarket horn so i cant tell you what wire to tap in to on the stock horn

 

y use the piezo..any other buzzer???

 

I used the siren from an alarm system. It was a viper that my buddy tore out of his Eclipse cause it was annoying him (PO installed).

Anyway, hooked it up via relay.

It sounds unique, that is for sure... since the blink of the lights isn't an instant on thing, it has a wierd sound. It is hard to describe. Very loud though.

I tell you one thing, when my car doors lock - I KNOW it is my car.

One of these days, I will solder something up to split up the voltage so I can get a couple shorter beeps per blink.

 

Go to Radio Shack, or better yet, to an electronics supply store where all the smark geeks hang out, and tell them what you want. They'll set you up.

 

yeah good idea! thanx for all ur replies everyone!

 

radioshack sucks i work there. horrible company. we are told to not care about the customer.
