Turning Alarm Off

[Mat]

Went to a meet last night, and to say it was a little noisey would be an understatement.

Anyway, due to the bass levels around us, my alarm must have gone off 7 or so times. It meant in the end, I left the car unlocked and hoped no-one decided to take a peak inside whilst I was away from it.

Is there any way of deactivating the alarm? Not that I would do it all the time, just for the odd occasion.

Someone told me to lock the car with the key, so I did, 2mins later "beep beep beep".

Stopped being funny after the 5th or 6th time TBH

TIA

There's a button behind the drivers seat, on the rear panel, that turns the interior sensors off.

Another new name mat?

 

[Mat]

Yep, another

forbez, seen that (only spotted it last week, had it since sept lol), but as you said, that was for interior sensors, didn't think that that would do much.

Is this a 'burglars take note' thread?

Is there a way of turning the senativity down. Loud exhausts set mine off when i at my mates as car is parked by the road. Annoying

 

[Forbez]

Turn the interior sensors off, it'll still go off if the doors/ bonnet are opened / lifted.

I think it may be the sensor under the bonnet that triggers it off, possibly bounces under vibrations? Had a scooby rumble past mine a couple of weeks ago that set it off!

I think it depends what way you turn the key in the lock - the manual explains it

is there anyway to adjust this in vagcom? i have the same problem when i go to the pub..

 

[acidstrato]

yeah you can lock the car with the key and not set the alarm, i've done it a few times but i have no idea how

Same here, my alarm went off everytime I took the ferry to my parents cabin until I looked it up in the manual..What you do is you turn the key to lock, in the drivers door, then you turn it all the way in the opposit direction, then back to "middle", then take the key out(the red led stops) Jobs done!!!

I'll be giving this a go next time the wind gets too strong for my sensitive alarm.

Yer ive had to turn my alarm off due to bass/loud exhaust, lock your car by your key by turning it to the left and then slightly to the right till your interior light comes on. itll still be locked but with no alarm.

Sweet mine always goes off never thought about reading the manual to find out what that was. I'll turn that off and see what happens.
