Right, get ready for some tech talk!
I normally jam a ratchet or spanner or similar in the metal loop that holds the door to when shut, which is bolted to the body just below the rubber covered switch which controls the door buzzer. If you fit it in right, you can hold the door buzzer switch thingy in! :mrgreen:

i found what i think your after today, its a black box with a white connector with three mainly red wires into it , with "key reminder" stamped on it, should be under the heater control panel clipped onto something, mine was loose and had a broken tab on the side of it, its about half the size of a 20 pack of cigs. cant think it wil be a problem to lose it. :-k

RF modulator is a kludge used to get cd changer support on head units that don't support a changer. It takes the audio output from the cd changer, and sits inline on the car's aerial, and then makes the audio from the cd changer present on a particular FM frequency. You then tune your head unit's radio to that frequency to listen to the cd changer. They usually have another lump somewhere that will display what track / disk the changer is on and have some track skip buttons or a remote sensor.

They are horrible!
