there's mo siren. It is using the car's horn. Try to fire it yourself - sit in the car lock it with the key wait about 20 seconds and wave with your arms. :) It should fire.
Mine goes on if a someone with the deep and loud exhaust goes by. You can minimize the sensor sensivity with the button behind drivers seat.
i agree its a the horn speaker...
a bloke at work finds it really funny to set mine off with his custom harley...thank god its winter and the fool aint using it:D

Mine goes off every time its parked on a busy road. The best time was on the Isle Of Wight ferry where it went off the entire journey! Still least we know they work!

I dont think its actually the car horn as the car horn is so much louder, this sounds more like a seperate unit. If it is a seperate unit though it kind of makes you wonder why they made it sound like a weak car horn!
Hve the exact same problem, was parked beside me brothers Evo8 the other day he started it up and it went off, pain in the :censored: A simple bus passing can set mine off.
I didn't know you could change the sensitivity of the alarm :confused:
There is a button on the drivers side, just next to the back seats, which just disables the interior sensors completely.

Pres and hold it for a second. There is a red light on the button which goes on.
