Wotcha Guys.

Swopped my 3.2 targa for a 986 Boxster & love the car... however.... changing the stereo has caused the horn to sound when I lock the car. Tried removing the mount & read about the anti theft thing but don't under stand....

Please help...looks like something going to ground but can't work it out.

Remove and tape the alarm wire from the on radio connection.

Covered here elsewhere also.

Many thanks for the speedy reply but I can't find a wiring diagram and.... alarm went off 3 times in the night! Wife not happy.... this is going to cost me chocolate & flowers B)

Ahh looked around & found another thread, Brown with blue stripe I see. Mine is a 2000 Boxster S if that makes a difference. An down side to just cutting the wire?

And... the brown/blue stripe wire is in the multiplug leading off into the loom not attached to the cradle.... is it this one?

Thanks again.

The radio connection would not cause the alarm to go off - you have a different/other alarm problem.

You will need to run the Durametric software, a PST2, or PIWIS on your car and find out what the alarm faults are.

It's sorted!

I couldn't work out what you guys were on about ref the plastic on the side of the Becker, found that & then the contact on the radio sleeve hiding behind the bracket. Taped it up & silence resumes :D I think as the radio was half in last night it was a loose contact at that point on the side of the radio.

Thanks for the support.
