specific keyless entry/alarm question (searched)
Hey guys...I had a few questions regardling keyless entry & alarm for the FD, none of which I found on the forum.
1) Did Mazda offer this as an option on FDs? I know my mom's Maxima has a factor alarm w/ ignition kill, keyless entry, and the ability to roll down the windows when you hold the unlock button down.... anything like that? If you can get that from Mazda, all the rest of my questions are pretty much answered, cuz I'll just take my car to the stealership
2) I recently had an alarm + keyless entry put on my FD, and ran into a few problems (in order of increasing annoyance lol):
- I didn't want the LED light w/ the alarm, so I had the guy wire the LED thingy to the "security" button in the center console. Instead of coming on for a few seconds then flashing periodically afterwards when the alarm is armed, the "Security" button light stays on ALL the time when armed. I just don't want it draining my battery...
- The lock cylinder light, which turns on briefly when you lift the door handle, should turn right off afterwards. It stays on all the time, unless the alarm is armed.
- I had them install 2 way relays for the windows, so I can remotely roll the windows down AND up. That way I can arm the car w/ the windows in any position, and not only can I remotely roll the windows down, but if it rains all of a sudden, I can remotely roll them up. But what happened was, I lost the "partial roll down" function from the window button inside the car (in the door panel). Basically, you know how when you press the window roll down button in the door panel, you can hold for a sec or two, and let go, and the window will only roll down that partial amount (as opposed to rolling down completely)? And if you press it down all the way (Driver side), it'll lock, and roll down the window completely? I lost those functions. The slightest touch of either window button will roll them COMPLETELY, be it up OR down. Needless to say, it's pissing me off...
I gotta take the car back to the shop for some final touches, but the things I just listed they aren't aware of, and before I complain about them, I wanted to make sure they're not common issues that can't be resolved, and I simply gotta deal w/ "as-is" from putting on an aftermarket alarm. I'd hope this isn't the case, since what I'm looking for is EXACTLY like my mom's factory Maxima alarm, + an additional relay to close the windows. Her factory alarm comes w/ ignition kill, keyless entry, remote window rolldown (only down), and retains the ability to roll the windows down and up partially from the inside buttons in the door panel.
Anyone's $0.02 would be much appreciated.
Thanks
