Default Keyless entry question!

Does any one know if there is a way to hook you parking lights up to your factory keyless entry? Just curios. I didn't really want to get an alarm, but I like the visual conformation with the parking lights flashing. The only thing I could find that would be close was an add-on alarm that hooks up to your factory keless system. If any one has any input let me know.[&:]

The instructions with my keyless entry units state that there is an optional headlamp/parking lamp kit available and the install instructions come with the kit. It does not give the part number for the kit though. I would say call the dealer and ask for the part number and price.

Good news is there is an optional kit. Bad news may be that it costs $100 bucks for it...just kidding...I have no idea how much it would be.

oh yeah...these instructions are from the Mopar factory keyless entry kits not aftermarket.

What'd you get for a remote starter? How much did it run you?

Yeah there are some cheap alarms out there, but I was wanting to keep the factory key fob. Plus the kit I mentioned is only about $50. I was just wondering if any one knew a secrect to hooking the lights up so I didn't have to shell out the $$. Thanks anyway guys!

Default RE: Keyless entry question!

Has anyone ever thought about finding the wire that causes the horn to honk with the panic & locking feature. From there splice a line from your parking light + to that + your lights should flash with the horn only in panic and unlock modes. If you pick the wrong one out of the three wires (Horn +, Panic +, Horn -) the lights will flash whenever you honk the horn. I used to have a car that flashed the brights when you honked the horn, some one might want to do that. Let me check my schematics and get a wiring diagram up here. But you can do it just like you can interface, multiple alarm functions by wiring them into the door switches, I havent done a remote start yet on my truck, but I did add a home-made kill switch that won't allow power constant to reach the ignition switch with the alarm armed. To be honest though this stuff all requires a lot of splicing and putting home depot parts in your car. Buying a kit would be better in most circumstances but for those who take a hobby in their trucks this is kinda fun.
