How can I get my alarm to work w/ the TT?
Ok, first off, I did do a search, just couldn't find what I needed. Onto the problem...I got a Viper alarm installed the other day and I had my HKS TurboTimer turned off because I didn't want some idiot leaving it in gear. Anyway, they got everything installed just fine (not knowing about the TT). So when I got home I turned on the TT, took out the key and got out. I go to arm the alarm and no such luck. Turns out it won't arm until the engine is off, which totally defeats the purpose of having the TT. So I need to know how to take care of this, or what to tell the shop so they can take care of it. Thanks guys.

are there any other sites with CLEAR directions plus pics of a TT install on a GTI 1.8T? other than that swankmonkey site? I felt that those directions were confusing.....

That should be a simple programming feature on the Viper alarm. If you let me know which Viper alarm you have then I'll be able to tell you how to program it.
The feature is called armed while driving, or AWD. If you or your installer programs the alarm to have this feature on then, your alarm will arm even though your turbo timer is on.

Ok, here's the sequence to program that feature on your alarm.
First, know where your valet button is (the small black button that you use just in case you lose your remote.)
1. Open the driver's door and leave it open.
2. Put the key in the ignition and turn it to run (the key position just before you crank it) and then turn the key back to off.
3. Press and HOLD the Valet button until your siren beeps once. Release the valet button.
4. Now you have to press the Valet button 10 times, HOLD down the Valet button on the 10th time. Your siren should now chirp 9 times.
5. Now while still HOLDing the valet button down, press the lock button or button 1 on your remote.
6. Release the valet button, turn the key to run and then back off again. The siren should let out a short whail letting you know that you exited the programming menu.
7. Test it out. Start the car and have the TT running. Close all your doors and try to arm you alarm. It should arm now.
Good luck, it sounds harder than it actually is and it should only take you less than 5 minutes to program this feature.

The siren isn't really programmable but, it's either 6 decibels quieter than a full out alarm volume or it's at full alarm volume at all times. The way to make it always stay at full volume is to look at the siren itself. It should have a small black wire in a loop, if the loop is cut then the siren is set at full volume. If the small black loop is there then it is set at the quieter volume.
When I install alarms, I usually just cut the loop off because if the customer wants to arm or disarm the alarm without the siren then there is a silent mode for that. I think that the louder the siren is the more attention it will attract to your car if it's getting messed with.
