This alarm I bought came with a pod that has the valet switch and status led as one..So kind of weird,I mean you're supposed to hide the valet switch but keep the led visible..Can i put some kind of switch on the valet wires to make it on/off? or not? or do i have to cut the wire and add on a new valet switch,if so can i just use a regular switch from radioshack?

 

It will be a "coded" switch, you will have to program your own code into the unit. 94

 

what kind of alarm is it? yes you should be able to cut the switch wires loose and put a mom. switch in a hidden location on those wires.

Yeah, I was reading that in the manual about how you could program your own sequence for the button,but I just don't like it in the open like that.

So I can just install any toggle switch in between the wires and have it on/off? the toggle switch won't be acting like a new valet button or anything right?

it's a newer crimestopper "CS-2002DC series IV"

Here's a pic of my valet/led for reference.

 

oh i see what your saying. a toggle switch to de activate the valet switch. yes that would work. just cut one wire and put your switch between the cut section.

Will this single post single throw toggle switch from radioshack work? http://www.radioshack.com/prod...earch

 

It will not, you will need a momentary switch, either a toggle or push button.

Can you not remove the LED and button from the housing and just mount them where you want? 94

I tried to seperate the 2 but honestly I don't want to risk breaking anything.And on the back there is some rubberized coat that has the wires attatched.

 

Yes it will. 94
