None that I know of...but that would be cool.

My ford fusion did that from the factory, about the only feature of that car I liked.

Good trick, huh? 2 relays and about half an hour...unless it is a Volva, then more like 3 hours!

I also do a sweet little number to keep the radio on after you turn the key off...shuts off the deck when you open the door.

ryan give me like 30 with your car and ill fix your radio

edit: also if you look at my post from before that will work guaranteed(provided you get the right colored wires), it will make your parking lights blink not turnsignals

hmmm...guess I should go buy some wire then and find those wires!

...and if you can fix my radio that would rock....I just want it to memorize what the last song I heard was....and not reset the clock everytime I take the key out of the ignition....I know I just need to tap into the battery but I suck and am lazy!

You guys suck!!, NC325iC is in NCarolina and Luke is in Oregon, how much further can you get, I'm in Freaking Smelly Jersey and no diagrams of what you are talking about !!! That's o.k. I will impatiently wait for spring to come around and buy one of Luke's sweet Astra alarms.

I understand in Europe, they came with a different switch allowing parking lights to be used separately left or right, depending on how you are parked(?).
Luke

yeah...I think its so that if ur parked on the curb you can turn the street side light on to make ur car more visible to idiots who aren't payin attention....but i could be full of shit

[StereoInstaller1]

You could tap into the parking lights instead of the blinkers. This would keep you from having to run diodes at all.

I have had "turn signal-becomes-emergency flashers" issues doing that on some E30's...I cannot remember which ones though.

I diode all of them to make life easier!

hence my question above of "I only have to tap into the rear turn signals to get both front and rears to blink....is this true for the parking lights as well?"

i DO NOT KNOW(FUCK i HATE CAPSLOCK) what would happen if you connected in the trunk: I do not do it there. I do all of this crap under dash, so I have access to everything I might need, plus far easier to do such things as remote start, locks, light flash, door pins, etc.

I also do a sweet little number to keep the radio on after you turn the key off...shuts off the deck when you open the door.

Luke

you need to wire up my car..... my radio resets everytime i turn off the car...lol


I'll have to look into the whole thing some more...maybe I'll try just runnin all the wires up front, or just relocate the whole damn thing...
