ok people i just found it.... here it is incase you need it... Sourced it from ClubSI.com

Well everyone knows that anyone can take a screwdriver, pry open the top of the driver side window a little bit and use anything long and stiff (coat hanger, stick, whatever) to flip up the power door lock switch to gain easy access to your car... I've heard of may people removing the switch for this specific reason. But a simple SPDT 12V relay wired to your alarm will provide you with that security & w/o the hassel of using the manual locks.

I'll define the wiring w/ the pins of a standard SPDT automotive realy.. But I acctually used a small 12V SPDT computer relay because the amount of current through the switch is nowhere near 20/30amps, the smalled magnet will use less power, and it's smaller so it's easier to stash in drivers kick panel..




Now once your alarm is armed you can not unlock the door by the power unlock switch although you can still lock them.. When the alarm is off you can lock and unlock the door w/ the switch like normal.

I'm sure it's been done before, But if you haven't thought of it, maybe you should.

Edit: Oh and it's a good idea to put the relay after(door side of) the connection to the green/orange wire for your alarms power unlock wire(which makes this connection car side). Depending on the alarm there might be a delay that will cause your doors not to unlock the first time you disarm it if the relay is connected car side of the alarms unlock wire.

Another Edit: The Green/ Orange wire in the drivers kick panel (plastic panel next to the foot rest left of the clutch pedal) is a Green wire with Orange dots on it. Which is going into the White Box.. The Orange dots can be pretty far apart to you might have to trim back some of the loom insulation to see if it has orange dots or another color. Instructions to test the wire are below.
