s1 alarm

Post by mainsy » Sat Apr 19, 2008 4:42 pm

is it possible to make the alarm more sensitive when someone leans in the car? i had my alarm turned on and leaned in to grab my ipod and it didn't go off :|

I think you can turn it off, but not sure if you can turn it down.

It might also wait 30 secs (or similar) after arming the alarm till it sets the sensor.

Not sure though :roll:

isn't there a screw on the side of the sensor for adjusting the sensitivity, also I think it takes a few seconds for that to arm.

the position of the sensor doesn't help unless someones trying to knick your stereo

My alarm gives a warning tone as soon as you reach in then goes off a second or so later

Check that the sensor that lives at kidney height between the seats is actually still velcro'd to the metal panel rather than pointing straight down like it normally does ;-)
