i re placed my factory keyless entry module with the omega 43T. can i wire the wire for the horn to the lock wire then to the module and the courtesy and the unlock together? that way the horn honks when i lock and light kick on when i unlock

 

horn yes. light no. But it's more complex than that.

What you'd want to do is have a DPST or DPDT relay for the lock/horn. That would isolate the two circuits to prevent several problems, like making your doors lock every time you hit the horn and possibly also causing fires.

The light would be the same situation, but I'm assuming you'd want the light to come on for longer than the 1 second needed to trigger the unlock. You'd have to add in a circuit somewhere with maybe a microcontroller so the light doesn't stay on all the time.

 

will a regular bosch style relay work for the horn?

 

no, but i suppose you could use two SPST relays to "make" a DPST setup.

 

well crap.

 

so would regular 5 pole relay be a spst? if so would two of them be wired to make the horn function with the lock button?

 

5 pole would be spdt but yes, two of them would work.

But really at this point you should be cutting your losses and buying a unit that already has the features you want, like the Avital 2101L

 

is that simular to the omega 43T? i dont need a alarm just want he honk feature when i hit the lock button

 

It's just keyless entry, no alarm. But it does have the horn honk and interior illumination features you want.

 

o ok i'll try to order one soon thanks abunch

 

Any other Omega 43T installs out there? My factory receiver seems to be dead and was thinking about trying the 43T. Any issues. I have a 2000 Sport

 

i ended up getting the omega rec 12 unit. does the horn and lights and when wired up it can do a number of things.

 

so can the rev 12 be wired up in the overhead dome light? Would be nice to retain lights and horn.

 

thats how i did mine. ran a wire to the head light switch to make the parking lights flash. and a wire to the back of the radio for the 12v ign. source

 

^^ thanks.
