Kayo, 

I will not be offering it for sale and even if I did it would not be 
plug and play. It was designed as an add on to my off the shelf 
system. Since the combo alarm/remote start/keyless entry unit I 
choose was not designed to include built in door launching (but had 
the aux outputs I was looking for), it was the only part needed that 
had to be built. It's simple enough though and is combined with the 
easily available minature relays needed to power the door actuators. 

As for interfacing it with the LockZilla I'm assuming you're refering 
to Bob's soon to come door launching module. Without knowing how it's 
executed I couldn't answer that, I'd have to see one. In short, your 
asking me to design onto a device that has not been released yet. 
Since Bob's gadget will be plug and play there is no way for me to 
know exactly what he's done. (Fwiw, I earlier designed a system that 
used the same wiring as the door solenoids but discarded it because I 
needed new wires in the door for other reasons.)

You could simply interlock when the ignition is on but then you 
couldn't open a door after a remote start. I will however be glad to 
tell you a very simple method of interlocking such a circuit using 
an "and" function of ignition on and key in. This prevents door 
launching when the ignition is on using the key but still allows 
launching your doors with the ignition on after a remote start, if 
you're so equipped. It will require slight work on the cars wiring, 
not altering it per say, just tapping into two wires. I'd also need 
to know exactly what you have installed if that time comes. This is 
much simpler than speed sensing as the D has no easy way to sense 
speed. (Mine works off my remoted governor electronics.) 

I wouldn't worry too much about it, I seriously doubt Bob would 
market a launching setup that didn't incorporate some form of safety 
to prevent your car's doors from flying open at speed. It was a 
design criterion of mine from the beginning and I was just fooling 
around. I'm sure the Zilla unit will have some logic in it to handle 
that issue.



>>I am interested in your "interlocking unit" and I would like to add 
this device to my DeLorean. Will you be marketing this unit for 
sales??? If you do, can this unit be added in conjunction with the 
LockZilla or do I have to replace it completely with yours? Will 
your unit be "plug and play?" Or will it have to be a "project" to 
install it???<<
