Slater Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 according to vadis even in the basic alarm you're supposed to have a visual signal. examing the relays under relay 211 there are an R and an L, these are voltage outputs to both the left and right side of the blinkers, my guess is you would just swap a newer relay in which you could probably order from volvo. I did see programming schematics for the Guard Alarm I using some sort of device, i wonder if you can do the same thing for the basic Guard Alarm ?←Well, the stuff in VADIS I saw didn't even claim that the basic system was a Guard Alarm. They list the 3 possible options - Standard, Guard Alarm I, and Guard Alarm II. There was explicit programming instructions for Guard Alarm I and II, but absolutely nothing about programming the Standard "alarm" if you could call it that.Maybe youc an swap relays - if so that would rock.

turbobrick Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 so... anyone have a later car that they're parting out that i can snatch relays from and try my luck ?? doesnt hurt to try :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobrick Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 hmm looks like i may be able to do one better.. my father's 96 850 appears to have a GUARD alarm, he has the stickets on the doors and the key FOB acts slightly different, one push just unlocks the drivers door, two pushes unlocks them all. im gonna locate the module this weekend and see if it is infact one of the other alarms. will a standard FOB work on a GUARD alarm'ed car ?

You could probably get one from a boneyard way cheaper and easier than from a BMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't do Jack. It came with the Vertical Button remotes with 2 rectangular buttons. 1 says lock the other says Unlock. What kind does your fathers have? I tried the programming thing but it didn't work. Is the programming for a 96 ther same as a 94 with the ign Key on off deal?thanks-=Uncle Boost=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobrick Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 my dad's is just a basic two button remote, i programmed both his and mine the same way, by putting the key in the ignition and moving it 5 times or something like that, you can look up the procedure online.

Or are the buttons Side by side little oval or round buttons? I have the ones with the rectangular buttons.....I wanna make sure they are the right ones before I go troubleshooting RF signals...
