Note:
This install will NOT work with the
stock alarm on vehicles with the AWP engine code.
Disconnect
the (-) terminal of the battery and DO NOT power up until the turbo
timer has been completely installed.
Remove the black plastic cover between the steering column and the
cluster by pulling up and out.
Remove the lower black plastic cover over the pedals, starting with
the right panel, then the left.
Remove the left side cover for the dash. Not just the fuse door
but the whole side, just pull it, it will come out.
Unscrew the fuse panel on the left side and wiggle it till you can
get it out some and take the cover off the back.
Place the timer where you want it and run the wires for the ignition
towards the steering column, if you have a wire for accessory on
your turbo timer, don't worry about it, it is not needed. On my
install, I had to move the defrost switch. Not too hard, you just
have to have small strong fingers.
There are 2 wires for the ignition on MK4s, both have to be connected
to work. These wires are the larger like 10 gauge wires on the back
of the ignition swith. one is black with red stripe the other is
all black.
Connect the ignition signal from the timer to both these wires with
the wire taps. (Actually I recommend using solder for these connection
due to the thickness of the wires)
Connect a suitable ground for the timer. Any structural metal brackets
on the dash are suitable grounds for this sort of thing.
Go back to the fuse panel and look at the wires that go to fuse
#6
On one side of the fuse there should be a wire with a black w/ purple
stripe. Cut this wire a few inches from the fuse panel
Get the relay, on the back there should be 4 marked posts (sometimes
on the side of the relay). If there are 5 posts, don't use the middle
one, that will do the opposite and your windows and stuff won't
work unless the car is off.
Relay mapping:
terminals are as follows:
(30) +12V constant (blue/purple from fuse box)
(85) - ground
(86) trigger (steering column brown/red wire side)
(87) output (blue/purple opposite fuse box, the harness side of
the cut wire)
Connect the side of the blk/purple wire from the fuse to the 30
(+) terminal on the relay.
Take the other side and attach it to the output side of the relay,
termnal 87. If there is an 87A DO NOT USE IT, only 87!!
Connect a ground for the relay at terminal 85 on the relay to a
similar location as the timer, if you can use the same all the better.
I used a wire tap at the common ground above the foot peda
Go back to the steering column and there is a brown wire with red
stripe. Use a wire tap and run a wire to the trigger (86) on the
relay. That br/red wire is the signal to tell the car the key is
installed. What the relay does is trick the car to only turn on
the comfort control module, which controls the windows, sunroof,
alarm and other things, when the key is installed. If you look into
the key hole you will see a little tab that pushes in when you insert
the key that is the switch for this. So basically with the key in
the car operates like normal, now when you take it out, the comfort
control module thinks that the car is off since it no longer gets
an ignition signal it gets a key in signal. You will not be able
to close your windows and sunroof once the key is out you will have
to put it back in to do it or use the key in door method.
The final connecion is power to the timer. Take the (+) for the
timer and run it down to the power supply terminals by the pedals.
You now have a few options for the kill wire. Turbo timers have
a brake light swtich, while others have a speed signal, and some
have both. The Blitz timer I have has both. I only use the brake
one right now but will be installing up the speed one eventually.
To hook up the brake signal wire take out the center console and
hook up that wire to one of the wires for the hand brake warning
light. When the brake is lowered with the car running the timer
will now shut off. You can skip this step but this will mean that
as long as you can keep adding time you can keep driving the car
around.
Install a ring end on this wire and loosen the nut numbered 30 on
that panel. If that is not the right number just check with a test
light to see which one is on all the time.
Test it out and then put the car back together and have fun.
Also if anyone wants to add sensors to their stock alarm you can
do this by tapping one wire if you have a gound signal type sensor,
which most are. On the comfort control module there are 2 connectors
one is a 15 pin connector, on this connector wire 1 is again a brown
and red wire, tap tis wire like you did all the others and you can
run the signal wire from any sensor and it will trip the alarm.
all it does is make the car think the hood was opened. Very simple
and it does work. add this with an extra LED and better siren and
you will have the features of a 500 alarm for less then 50 bucks
and retain the stock remote. |
