button on alarm is the same as button on mirror, i wired up a complex circuit to allow button on mirrors, button inside and alarm to open door and boot, passenger door controled off just inside and mirror

when alarm is on, buttons dont work

i use alarm fob mainly as its easier

did the lot myself

Check these out... you could use one instead of the button under the wing mirror..
TapLock
They can be stuck to the inside of the pannel instead of the glass.. that wasy, no one will know they're there!! :thumbs:

Iaz, you need to update your sig ;)

Not sure if i can be arsed spending £300 on solenoids. Rather spend that on ice or engine.

Hmmmmmmmm Barchetta handles

the solonoids came with my car, the bloke who i got car off had paid £300 for them! rip off i think! but they fitted a treat next 2 centeral locking ones, didnt have 2 make or modify anything! tidy job, worked first time 2:-)

As long as you have a exterior way of getting in the car it will pass mot no probs mate got it on mine and it passed no hastle!:)

SO u reckon getting solenoids and linking them to my clifford would be best, i hear MOT testers dont like this as it means no physical way to open doors, i.e in the event of an accident.

Might go back to my original idea of barchetta handles

Flamingcorsa, what solenoids did you use for the doors, i am thinking about doing this to my corsa, was quoted £130 for the solenoid kit by www.customconcepts.co.uk

i smoothed handles off and fitted solonoids in doors, really easy 2 do was suprised, not wired it in but that will b easy bit! just got water proog buttons with the solonoids 2 go in mirros! looks mint i think! iaz

a had delocked all round on my nova and ran 2 insulated wires outside, and if the battery went i could power the door locks or a slave battery, or jumping cables.

have heard of people putting a secondary battery in the boot which works or a key switch out side, so if power goes you can turn to the other battery. but take too much space and hassle.

if you have a clifford alarm the power wount fail mate.

At the end of the day if the power oges etc etc u can just break the window, hassle, but their not that expensive are they? to replace?

costs about £120 to smooth door handles, you can mod a button in yourself, and sort activation, depending how good you are at leccys.

same probs if power goes, but can be sorted:thumbs:

im guessing it just a simple push switch, blended into the underside of the mirror, which is wired up to the central locking system :) Shouldnt be that hard to do, although i dont know what insurers would say, since it would mean a simple way of getting into the car, plus it isnt very secure :(

Other way, could be to replace the push switch with a electrical key switch :) Would offer some security over the push switch, but it still would only take someone a few minutes to get it working again :)

Marv has done it himself hasnt he?

in the immortal words of homer. Doh!

Expensive

U know button under the wing mirror, no handles?

IS this expensive to do? I dont want handles on my corsa but dont want to rely on a alarm fob for entry, really like this idea, but not sure on how expensive it is and what would i need to do it?

Anyone know much bout them>?
