164 alarm key



According to a conversation i had with the guys at ARI, they allways had a problem locating a manufacturer here in US that could supply a blank key to fit the lock on the back of the alarm.I was told one could not be provided.
I went on to locate a local switch with key at electronics store.When i opened up the alarm - surprise:
there were 2 circuits that were supposed to be operated symoultaneously by the key.There is no such key switch, at least not one easy to find, to my knowledge, and that would still fit the space provided.
I have initially tried to actuate a relay from the one circuit that I could cut off with the switch I had.
Thak almost worked.....
Later, I decided to install a button switch with 2 circuit connections, that I still use.
BTW, i think that, at the time of production of the 164, Alfa was providing something like a more complex-powerfull alarm module that would be a direct plugin into the existing wiring with extras for motion sensors inside the car and auto power window lifting, trough their boutique.
