Alarm Problem

[JHamilton_21]

Hi, ive a 2002 toledo 1.9 tdi se and my button key doesnt work so have to open the car manually but whenever i unlock the car and then a passenger opens a door or the boot, the alarm goes off? But it doesnt go off it i open the drivers door. The only time it doesnt go off when a passenger opens a door is if that key is in the ignition. Any advice? Cheers

Mine does the same, haven't figured out how to get round it

Standard behaviour. You need to get the key into the ignition within a short time to turn off the alarm - once the key has been recognised by the immobiliser, then the alarm is cancelled. I think it tells you this in the manual? Not sure, but I know that's what I had to do.

You may well find that the keyfob has broken/worn out. They are not cheap to replace unfortunately.
