How To: Blinking Theft Deterrent LED Mod!
« on: May 15, 2009, 12:19:36 PM »
I finally finished it!  Below find a link to an exhaustive write up on my blinking theft deterrent LED mod.  I had to learn a bunch about relays, resistors and such, but in the end I know a ton more than I did and am extremely happy on how it came out.  The PDF doc has a step by step write up with pictures and a link to a Youtube video.  It was too long and involved to try to post in html.  So...

Instructions:

YouTube Vid:

If you guys see anything in the write up that could be better, please let me know.  Also, I would love to know if any of you attempt the mod!

 :cheers:

Now that is cool!  I know my Murano flashes a red light and appears to have alarm set even when it's not.  I like it!!

Thanks for the post and the details, job well done!!   :thumbs:

I like the idea, I'm just a (fill in the blank) when it comes to ripping a dash board a part

Nice Job!

Gary - don't know about the Sol, but no dash ripping required or me where I put my LED.  The pieces I refer to in the write up all pop off with a screwdriver or pry bar.  I am the same organ when it comes to ripping the dash off!

ok maybe ripping was a little harsh, lol

I'll have to take a look and see how hard it would be to get in there. I do like the idea
