could just de-lock it?

spose its a bit expensive compared to simply changing the locks but hey - worth it in the end

there are lots of ways to get into a nova regardless of the locks.

I've got into mine by popping the door pins using that packing tape wedged through rubbers, bent coat hanger down window rubber to hook catch release to name but 2

u just wire them in parallel to your existing alram light?

now heres a qn

does the alarm itself make the light flash, or is the LED a flashing LED?

i was thinking about this problem a little while ago. My alarm makes the LED constant when the alarm has been activated but is not set. When it sets the LED starts to flash. I believe that it is just an electrical pulse that makes it flash, not the actual LED.

I thought flashing leds had a built in flasher unit.

Someone tried to break into mine last week, they failed. :lol:

The lock still works but has been pushed in (hammer) and totally mashed with a screwdriver. The only problem I had was that until i got it fixed today you could put any key in the driver door about a centimetre and turn slightly and the drivers side wouldnt unlock but the central locking would unlock the passenger door. :x

How weird is that. :o
