I have a factory fitted alarm - i installed a new stereo - just pushed in 2 blocks - now the alarm wont come on - i have looked at fuses but can find out why its not switching on any more - you know the flash of the lights / and the door lock red flashes

anyone been here before?

This could well be the cause of your problem. You dont say what stereo you fitted or wether you used any sort of wiring adapter.

If you have any wire from the new stereo connected to certain pins in the Audi loom (k-line for example) then that will cause all manner of problems. Unplug the stereo and see if everything starts to work again..........

I have a audi a4 1.9 tdi 1997 - and the stereo was un branded - nothing special

and i used a standard fitting kit from halfords - i didnt touch anything else just pushed in the 2 blocks

So did you try unplugging it?

If you have anything connected to the K-line pin then you will have problems.

Yes i unplugged it all and its still the same :(

UPDATE : thanks for the info about the K-Line - i have found out that the halfords fitting block is wrong - fits fine but has everything in the wrong place

so i have a new one on the way - thanks Issac
