The pictures below are of some cut wires that I have no idea where they go. The first pic is a cut ground wire that is attached to the steering column. The second picture is a purple wire, looks black, and is located by the drivers kick panel. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 94 USDM Integra that I converted to a RHD car. When doing the conversion I removed ALL wiring harnesses that were installed, and replaced them with ALL JDM 96/97 ITR harnesses. To the best of my knowledge that's the year harnesses that I'm working with now.

I've installed an alarm in the car, and for most purposes almost all the wires match up as if it were a USDM harness. (albeit on the opposite side now) However, the power lock wires that you'd typically find in the gray plugs by the drivers kick panel do not exist. (Black/Red, Black/White)

So, I checked inside the door on the door lock motor (green box) and sure enough those wires don't exist there either. I have the following wires on that plug:
  • Black
  • Yellow/Red
  • White/Red
  • White/Green
  • Blue/White
  • Blue/Red

So at this point I'm basically confused if I'll even be able to hook up the power locks. I can't seem to find any information about those wiring diagrams and/or suggestions for it. If anyone has any insight, I'm all ears.

I decide to make another music cd. went to garage, try to eject CD, no response. i press CD mode, nothing. Other buttons works. just CD mode and CD eject button is not working.

I even disconnect the battery and retired. same thing.

Any one had this kind of problem?

I've read quite a few threads on here and have decided to attempt a "stealth" install of an alarm system. Backup battery, extra sirens, etc. What I'd really like is to find a system with great and reliable range. Say, for instance, if I go to the movies. If an alarm says it has a 1 mile range how greatly does a building effect that? Can I park my car at the mall and walk around and have faith that the signal won't diminish so that it can't find me?

And what about GPS systems? I've already decided that I'll be getting one, but there are so many. I just need something simple and to the point. If my alarm goes off and the car is moved I want a system to call/text my phone giving me an internet link that I can access right away. From there I'd like the option to shut down the car. If there's a system that's compatible with Windows Mobile that would be amazingly awesome. If not, I can easily use Internet Explorer regardless. The point is that I don't want it to alert me that the car is moving and then go, "Shit! I need to find a computer!".

Oh, and then there's kill switches. There seems to be some debate about using the main relay and even relocating it. Whether or not it's the best method it sure does look like a pain in the ass to do. From what I've gathered the main kills are starter/ignition, fuel pump, and the main relay. Decisions, decisions.... :scared:

One last thing, has anyone here ever played with logic gates? Wikipedia says this about them:

"A logic gate performs a logical operation on one or more logic inputs and produces a single logic output. The logic normally performed is Boolean logic and is most commonly found in digital circuits. Logic gates are primarily implemented electronically using diodes or transistors, but can also be constructed using electromagnetic relays, fluidics, optics, molecules, or even mechanical elements.
In electronic logic, a logic level is represented by a voltage or current, (which depends on the type of electronic logic in use). Each logic gate requires power so that it can source and sink currents to achieve the correct output voltage. In logic circuit diagrams the power is not shown, but in a full electronic schematic, power connections are required."

Now, from what I've been told through a few people is that they can be used for car security. One can make (engineer?) a logic gate so that a certain kill switch can only be activated if a certain set of electrical signals is used. For an example I was told that one can create a gate for the fuel pump so that while the key is turned to the ON position and the brake pedal is held, one pushes various HVAC controls (buttons, fan speeds, etc) in a pre-determined order and the fuel pump will then receive power. Now, if this is actually able to be done, it sounds pretty bad ass and sure beats the usual, "Well, I think I'll hide this kill switch over here," way of doing things. Does anyone have any experience with such setups?

I apologize for the amount of questions, but like I said, this whole car security thing is very new to me but I very much want to get it right the first time. :beer: ]]> Audio / Security / Video LCDeuce http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2682702 <![CDATA[Honda's Keyless Entry horn honk question]]> http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2682670&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:48:28 GMT is there a way to turn off the honking of the horn on honda's keyless entry? i read the manual but i dont see it anywhere its a 2010 honda ]]> Audio / Security / Video Dc2 Powered http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2682670 trunk popper for civic? http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2682644&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:01:09 GMT I was wondering does it really require a "motor" in order for the trunk to pop open for the security system?
