Ok jippie! It was under the ashtray. Funny thing is now that I started the car with the alarm on and turned it off while it was running the alarm hasnt gone for 15min.... ???

I found a couple of cables not connected including one ground cable... should I give it ground or just tape them all and close?

(one white or if it was white/black striped, one black ground and one orange)

I can follow it back to the alarm but the wires from the alarm go up under the dashboard.

In Sweden we dont need to have one really, and the sound from it is rather disturbingly loud.

And I have it stored at a very high security place when not using it.

 

Anyways I have lowered the proximity sensor as much as I could I believe and the alarm is not going as of yet atleast..... but it'll be back lol

Based on the 650MKII

 

 

Best results is doing this in an empty car park during the day.

 

Switch the alarm off. Press G5 three(3) times. Then press * (single star). You're now in the menu for the full sensor for the likes of rain/wind hitting the vehicle.

 

Use the Boot button to increase sensitivity and the *(single star) to decrease. The alarm will chirp/beep with every adjustment, it'll get higher and lower with different setting.

 

Next press the **(double star) button. The alarm will chirp once. You're now in the menu for your warn away zone. Stand as close/far away from the car as you want the sensor to pick up. Each time you adjust the sensitivity up or down it will chirp higher or lower depending which way you're going. If you're within the sensor array, the alarm will give the "ergghhhh" proxy noise. If you're standing at whatever distance you're comfortable with and the proxy noise is not going off, then the warn away sensor is not picking you up so you either need to move closer or increase sensitivity.

 

When you're happy with whatever way you set it, press the lock/unlock button to lock in your settings. The alarm will chirp twice if they're locked in. Then press it again to leave the menu. The alarm will chirp 3 times to confirm you've left the user mode.

 

 

Alternative:

 

Best option is to turn down the sensitivity. If you hit G5 twice and then press the boot button it will fully arm with the exception of Proxies, Omnisenser and glass tamper.

 

The alarm will still go off if there's an impact to the bodywork, ignition tamper, door lock/handle tamper, bonnet tamper, boot tamper or tilt sensor or power interrupt.

 

You can still have blackjax enabled.
