umm..please elaborate. how do you expect us to know what you are talking about with no info on what problem you are having or what your current setup is??

your radio has no effect on a turbo timer.

with your turbo timer, everything should opperate as normal when the timer is activated.

if you are having alternate problems, please describe them in full. model numbers, year make model, and any other add ons that may effect the turbo timer.

Well, first when i had an aftermarket radio and i installed the turbo timer, the timer wouldnt count down but it would read my speed ( greddy full auto timer 2 on 96 civic dx).
the T Timer was installed with a harness so no cutting or slicing was done to ignition cable, and i followed all other instructions for the speed setting and parking break feature. the timer read the speed, did not recognize the parking break feature and could not count down, but would leave the radio on after the key was out.

Now.....my radio was stolen so i went back to OEM. and wired it with a factory harnes following their diagrams. Now the T timer counts down, but insted of the car being on until the timer is over, it turns off like normal, but the radio stays on until the timer counts down.....Now it wont read the speed either.


So....this is why i asked, if the radio had anything to do with it...theres an ignition wire going to it last time i checked, and the instructions said that the radio should turn on and of at the same time with the T timer.....

Anyone?

Your wiring is ****ed. You cross wired something in the accessory harness.

You should just ditch the turbo timer anyways. It does nothing you can't do yourself.

yeah i thought so, but i used a harness to install the t timer. im going to look into it again this weekend just wanted some info on what i should look for. I wanted to use the timer more for the handbrake feature, i can warm up my car in the morning without leaving the keys in the ignition.
