How do I set my alarm off ??

[ianc]

'05 LCR and I'm convinced the alarm doesn't work...I've tried to simulate a pikey by pulling the door handles and wobbling the car but to no avail...

Anyone got a defacto process for setting my alarm off...??

Unlock it with the spare key, open the door and walkaway

IIRC the key needs to go in the ingnition withinh 20 seconds otherwise alarm sounds......

Intersting...I used to have a Y reg cupra, and my bro managed to set the alarm off by just trying a door handle whist it was still locked, guess the rules have changed since.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Do they have movement detection in the cabin??? think they do

Lock car with one window down and then stick your arm in through the open window.

Easier than that - only close the door on the first catch then set the alarm, then push the door onto the second catch.

get in the car press lock on the remote and wait 30 seconds then move about the alarm should go straight off

Lock your car then lob a brick through the drivers side window

I might opt for the lock my cat in the car then and cover the window screen in mice option

....or optionally, lock my cat and some mice in the car....

open your boot....shut it.....press your lock button once...(which only locks your drivers door) then open boot....was checking whether i'd locked my car the other day until i was told u had to press the lock button twice to lock boot as well....

[minxycov]

no one thought it up...i found it out when i was checkin if my boot was locked when in a rough area of town.....


makes sense when ya think about it

 

[andycupra]

i didnt mean you thought it up, i mean who designed it that way... i kinda like to think that if i press lock its all locked.

On the LCR, hitting lock on the fob once locks everything - none of this open boot buisness. Tested

Tried leaving door open and no key in ignition for a few mins, no alarm.

Tried locking the car whils sat in it waving my arms about...no alarm.

Perhaps I need to leave a window open.....

Post your address....me boys will be round shortly....

Why dont you unlock the door with the key, then open the rear door, it sets mine off every time!

 

[ChrisUK]

Pressing your lock once will lock everything. Doesn't pressing it twice deactivate internal sensors ???
