The alarm has a feature to turn on defrost, i was wondering if anyone put a relay to the defrost button wire and wired that option?

 

i posted this in the alarm/remote start section in the audio section...enjoy

but to answer your question, yes, i have and its great to come out to a completely warmed up and ready to drive car when its cold. the temp sensor turns it on if the cars temp is under 55 deg.

 

i might just do that then =) only if i had heated seats in the car hmm

 

wow i need this

 

I need a new 479v for my viper...whos got one lol 180 at the alarm shop is robbery for a fob that is prone to failure

 

Be careful with that defroster option, if it is not on a timer and stays on you may burn out the defroster unit. Thats what I was told but check it for yourself.

If the screen is not cracked you may be able to warranty it @ a dealer.

 

No i bought the car without the fob for my viper alarm...and its a 2 way pager alarm with remote start...so im lookin for one but im not buyin new

 

Ill get a price for you Monday I have a wholesale account so should be able to save you some $

 

It shouldnt burn out the defrost, im 99%in surw that wire is only triggered while remote start is active once you take over w the key it shuts off.

 

besides knowing a dealer, i think amazon is cheapest.

you can set it to activate for only 10 minutes iirc you can adjust the time on this, or it just pulses the wire just as if you pressed the button on the dash, it turns off on its own

 

Def need to hook this up in my maxi

 

pm'med

 

I have mine hooked up to both my rear defrost and my heated steering wheel and at least in my car the rear defrost does come off once you enter the car and put the key in the timer will turn it off.

 

but do you have to press the button again if the window is still defrosting say in the snow, defeating the purpose, or is it not too bad? i can imagine that pissing me off a lot
