Help with TOAD AI606

Post by pmoc_2001 »

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to fit a toad AI606 and have a copy of the instructions.

are the terms "ignition supply at fuse box" and "ignition live" the same thing? ie the 12v supply that comes from the ignition barrel in the 2nd position when the dash oil light comes on.


Thanks for any help.

Thanks got it going. Are there any benefits to having a independent 12v permanent source for the alarm (small 12v bat). I know the toad chirper has a rechargeable battery, but would wiring it up to a second hidden batt (non cranking / leisure) make it any more challenging to the thief?

Not really. does it have a built in immobilser facility? Should be hard enough if fitted and wired well. Have seen some right crap jobs in m time from so called pro alarm fitters. Just try to make the solder connection (no scotch lock or crimp connectors), nice clean and hidden well away from any removable trim. Thats the way I do them.
How do you find thew toad? Was looking at a clifford G5 concept 470 which I quite liked. Realy like the glass break feature.
