Hi,
Just a quick one re: the alarm - tried a search on here and through the handbook but haven't seen an answer to my question..
Is it possible to lock the car without enabling the alarm? The reason I ask is when taking the car on the ferry the alarm seemed to go off quite easily.
TIA
Mark
p.s. for the people who helped on my previous threads I've ended up getting a 2002 C4 Cab in basalt black, will post up pics and details once I've had a chance to do some detailing (given the weather forecast this may not be for some time! :x )
Unfortunately, I don't think you can. You can disable the internal motion sensors by double-locking with the remote, but not the door contacts and tilt sensor.
I believe (and you'll need to test this) that the Porsche has 2 alarms (at least my Boxster did).
Both are enabled by the remote and has the tilt sensor and one in the door. I believe this is the case, because after a few days, the remote stops working (to save the battery) and you have to do a careful manipulation of the door lock (via the key) and press the remote. If you don't do this, the horn goes off (which appears to be via the key) and the alarm goes off (via the remote).
So, in theory, if you simply lock the car with your key, this only enables the "horn" alarm and not the normal alarm + tilt sensor.
Worth a try anyway.
It's all one system, driven by the control module under the passenger seat. Although the alarm goes into energy-saving mode after 5 days, all the systems are active except the remote receiver function.
There are two audible devices. There is a horn to the left of the battery (as you look at it) and a siren to the right of the battery. The beep alerts for an open glove box, etc, are sounded through the horn, and if there is an alarm condition, they both go off, but the siren is so loud it drowns out the horn. The siren and tilt sensor are only fitted to UK and Belgian cars as standard (to meet Thatcham standards in the UK).
Ah, thanks for that. I've only set it off in my garage and I can certainly hear both the horn and siren!!!!
It is incredibly loud in an enclosed space and gives me quite a headache.
