How To Wire An Alarm Into A Mk2 MX5.

Technical Area Electrics & ICE

Basically i have a '99 1.8s with key operated C/L, from what i’ve been lead to believe i only have an actuator/motor in my pass.door and not the drivers (i’ve tried to open the car from the pass. side and it only opens the pass door not the drivers too), i was wondering then the alarm i intend fitting has the function to lock the car via remote… handy for rainy or dark days, would i just need to fit a motor/solanoid from say… MAPLINS to allow the alarm to control that motor to gert the C/L working via remote.

Incidently, has anyone fitted a remote start alarm to an MX-5 before, as anotheralarm i’m looking at buying had this function too.

Many Thanks

Wayne.

A mate of mine in the UK fitted remote start, the car didn’t have a means of detecting that the car was in gear before the starter was operated…you can guess the rest[:^)]

 i had 1 fitted before, i was just wondering if i fitted a solanoid in the drivers door (pervious cars had C/L motors in all doors), would the system and alarm work ok?? the being in gear is not a problem… i never park in gear, even on the hill outside my house, lol
