Default I believe, it's dependant on how you wire the turbo timer to your car.

Since your car is a '97 model, if you follow the turbo timer install in the "Tech" section of AW, you should be fine if you used a turbo timer other than Greedy. BTW, I wired my Apexi Auto timer using the info in the "tech" section and don't have any issues with the factory alarm.

Default Got the greddy IV(Matches all after market guages in car) and it works fine with the factory alarm

NOW, the bitch part is trying to find someone who knows which wire coming out of the ecu is the speed wire.. I spent a good month looking to see if anyone knew.... but no luck... if you find it, post PLEASE! I'm not the only one looking for it.

My bro just installed his APEXi TT in his GSX. I actually like it better, has more functions like Air/Fuel Ratio and some other stuff. but that just means more wires to find that no one knows about...

Default From what I was told, HKS is another TT that would support A4's factory alarm

But it doesn't come in black, so it won't fit with the interior of your car...

Default Not difficult to install the Apexi TT.

just 5 wires to connect...ground, battery, ignition, parking brake, and oxygen sensor...all easier to find than the speed sensor.
