Guys, who locally is a clued up lecky ?

Does anyone know how to to fit a small speaker or something to a detalarm ( Knocklink ) so when DET has been detected by the sensor it'll make a bleep sound or something alike ?

I only wonder if this is possible as I can then drive the car without monitoring the lights constantly.

Cheers in Advance

LED's take a very low power so i would guess there wouldnt b enough power from the knocklink to drive a buzzer or speaker.
U could possibly use the led ouput to switch a small relay to power a buzzer.

Should be able to just connect a buzzer in parrallel to the L.E.D you want it to buzz on.

Try something like this in parallel with the LED if it the knocklink doesn't produce enough power to drive then try it with a relay.

Nice one guy's

I've fitted the Roojai Detalarm kit, which at the moment 6 LED's are fitted into the speedo display surround and trying to keep my eye's on that and the road is a task an half, so hopefully this'll warn me when it hits the amber lights just before the bright light ( DET ) occurs.

Something else I was just thinking about , what are the chances of possibly wiring the last light into ECU so as soon as the last light comes on, it sends a signal to the ECU and sends the car into safe mode stopping any further damage occurring.
