12v feed?

[nicpy]

I wonder if anyone knows where I can pick up a 12v feed from on an RCZ, it will supply a tracker so the demand is minimal (only 22mA or so) but it needs to be unaffected by the car going to eco mode, so a constant feed but will be independantly fused. Thought it wise to ask before I go delving round the BCI with a multimeter. :helpme:

The alarm is at the back of the car RHS I think that will have 12v constant even in eco mode

Looks like it's LHS.

I will check that out.......thank you.

I have had a look behind the rear N/S plastic panel inside the car where the rear speaker is, I have checked behind the N/S boot lining panel but can`t find the alarm siren, perhaps it is behing the N/S/R wheel arch liner?

Have you checked behind the wheel on near side? There are some connectors there, might also be above or in front of the wheel.

You could always leave your windows down and lock the car then after alarm has set wave inside the car to set off the ultrasonics and the alarm will sound, trace noise and there will be alarm system.

Checking on the wiring diaagram, I see that the siren gets it`s constant 12v from the BSI unit. I narrowed this down to a small plug that goes into the BSI in the top right hand corner, this has a twisted pair of thin wires , one of which is 5v and of the other two wires the pale blue one is that 12v + constant that feeds the siren. So I have used used that as my supply to the tracker which of course is independantly fused.

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :clap:

Glad you found what you were looking for.
