Hey all I use to be very knowleagable on all this alarm stuff, but I apparently am eather getting rusty or haveing brain farts. Can someone tell me how I can set up my alarm so I can feed in either a positive or a negitive signal that will cause the alarm to dissarm. Sorta a reverse factory alarm dissarm. I want to send a signal from my factory keyless or lock motors for when I type in my code to unlock the doors it deactivates the alarm.

If this isnt possible, I want to know if I can program my remote to lock the doors but not activate the alarm. All this work is being done on my 95 MTX.

Thanks.

Although the above image is for non-keyless, you get the idea.

If you want to have a button on your remote that just locks the car (without arming the alarm), you would just need to take the wire from an unused button output on the brain (like the trunk pop feature) and connect it to the 'door lock out wire' at the brain. Make sure they are both the same polarity types of output first though!! Pressing the button on the remote would then send the 'door lock' pulse directly to the power locks bypassing the remote arming.

The 'inputs' on the alarm are only ones that will set off the alarm. The only way I can think to make the built-in button system control the alarm would be to get an extra remote, disassemble it and do some soldering to replace the buttons with some wires, and use some relays so the remote transmits the correct pulse when it gets an input from the car's stock alarm wiring. Doing this would reduce the security of your system, since you would be as weak as the Ford transmitter and keypad technology to disarm the car, instead of the 4 billion rotating codes or whatever is in the viper alarm.
