Matt Harwood Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Spare keyfob won't help Don't feel bad Mark, I did the exact same thing with my wifes car a few months back... Yeah, yeah, I know I should have known better! Never leave the keys in the ignition and shut the door without a window open! Alex, can you PM me that info, It may come in handy some day!

Barry Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Originally posted by Mark Kindell Thing is its the second time i've done it today lol:stupid: I chuckled when I read your first post, but when I read this one..... I absolutly burst out laughing!!! :D Sorry Mark, its very funny though! I must admit I've also done it, but on my old 5 turbo. Turned the ignition on and went to look under the bonnet, door shuts and the anti-hijack locks all the doors.....with the engine running.....spare fob is in the glove box.! ops!

Alex Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Matt/all My break in method was not what Mark was looking for.... He thinks a brick through the window is too costly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Two things i would like to mention, first is that an alarm should never lock the doors on a passive arm, if it is then its not set up correctly and secondly how do you enter the car without bricking the window, because if i'm out and do this I wont be able to come on here and ask! I had a code alarm that used to lock the doors but it would only do that when you started the engine and wouldn't relock the doors if you got out and shut the door with the engine running. There is supposed to be a seperate door ajar sensor for the drivers door for the alarm to differenciate between a passengers door being opened and drivers door. Sounds like a setup problem to me (my spelling is cack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 There is a way to break in.... which is why i advise you all to have decent alarms and better still garages!! If he still has the insstructions ask Mark to forward it on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people like the passive arm and lock feature. We get requested to set-up alarms in this way and it's not unusual at all - Don't like it myself though I had a code alarm that used to lock the doors but it would only do that when you started the engine and wouldn't relock the doors if you got out and shut the door with the engine running. This is the more common way of the autolock features operation. And it is designed to do it so that people don't lock their keys in the car. However, the Clifford system is far better. It uses RPM dependent locking. If the car is idling at normal rpm There is supposed to be a seperate door ajar sensor for the drivers door for the alarm to differenciate between a passengers door being opened and drivers door. Not that I've ever seen on any car alarm. Sounds like a setup problem to me Doesn't to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Mr Harwood... What you have said about the idle speed is explanitory but, As you will see attached (was first diagram I could find) alarms do come with a seperate door closure wire, reason being the passive wont come on after the ignition is turned off until the drivers door has been opened and closed again, good idea methinks and this was only a 250 quid scorpion!! Attached... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I'm at work at the moment so I can't open that attachment, but I've never seen any alarm yet with separate drivers door wire, and I've been in the trade for the last 10 years . - That's not to say that I know every single alarm on the market, but I've dealt most of them. On a lot of cars that would either involve drilling and mounting a new pinswitch on the drivers door or altering the wiring for the interior light circuit. Most alarms won't activate passive arming until a door is open anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Originally posted by Matt Harwood However, the Clifford system is far better. It uses RPM dependent locking. If the car is idling at normal rpm That is also a brilliant invention for locking keys in the car when you go under the bonnet and blip the throttle Gaz.

400BHP Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I was thinking just that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 If the door's ajar or a window's open, no problem. It does have the slight advantage of making sure you are locked inside the car if someone should try to pull you out to steal your car - After all, usually you are inside the car when the engines running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
