Buggered Alarm?

[Chr15]

I unlocked my car yesterday and got in but the red light just kept on flashing until I turned the engine on. Only started last 24 hours or so. Its the standard alarm btw. On its way out or am I missing soemthing?

[Chr15]

Right, I lock the car now but less than 5mins later the alarm goes off. Seems OK if I lock manually with the key but thats not the point.

Any suggestions?

turn off the interior sensors before you lock it ;)

[Chr15]

I didnt think Id touched them :S

Oh well, the garage is locked, it'll be OK for tonight.

You don't have too, VTS alarms always start going spastic, turning off the sensors stops them randomly going off

[Chr15]

I had to leave it outside on the road unlocked for a while, wasnt too happy about that :(

[rey]

I wouldn't be either! Fuck that for a laugh

[FisherVTS]

how do you turn off the interior sencors?

i got the button next to my harzards but iv never understood what its for, do you just press it or hold it in

[reevesy_vtr]

you press it befor getting out the car, then get out and lock it.

[rey]

You have to hold it until the red light comes on

[reevesy_vtr]

thanks rey i have only ever taken the shitroen alarms out. Best thing you can do with them LOL

i have this problem tooo!!! fine when i lock manually but goes mad after 2mins if i lock with the fob.

so you reckon if i hold that little alarm sensor in the dash down before i get out, it'll be OK?

[rey]

You'll be perfectly fine if you push and hold it until the red light stays on

[Chr15]

oh the light has to stay on.

im a twat :oops:

[stinkycheese]

me too lol

what if i just unlock it to get something out the car? do i have to press it everytime?

[J222JRA]

Before you lock the car....everytime you ned to press and hold the button to disable them.

IIRC there is a guide somewhere that tells you how to disconnect them....tbh though that isnt ideal as its making your car less secure.

Imo you should get yourself an aftermarket alarm to protect your car properly.
