Hi all. Was wondering if someone would point me in the right direction for my project. After searching the past posts I've got a bit further, but my knowledge of electrical components isn't that good. What I would like to do is whardwire a mobile phone charger into my car and attach a Pay as you Go mobile phone. Then to tee into the alarm wires so when it goes off a solenoid/actuator? will press a button which will speed dial me. My problems:
1. Was thinking about teeing into the flashing indicator as a power source for the actuator the bulb is 12V so is this okay?
2.If I did this it would phone me when I initially set the alarm as the indicator flashes then so I was thinking of maybe some kind of timing device that would ignore this as it only flashes briefly.
I just seem to keep confusing myself here so if anyone could help at all with ideas of any kind I would be very grateful. Cheers very much
