Ah! cheers Dave, didn't think there may be a 'settling' delay before coming on

Well today I sat in the car, shut the windows and single locked the car. I opened the door from inside and the alarm sounded

Tried it just now on mine, alarm is not triggered by movement inside the car and yes the sensors are present. |

Interesting, thanks for trying it out, I have sent an EMail to 'Duckworths' my preferred dealer asking why, so may get an answer on Monday.

Reading Topix, it says if 'volumetric' sensors are installed then a 'single lock' press will be shown as activated by a quick flash of the turn signals and a subsequent press within 3 seconds to 'double lock' will be shown as active by a LONG flash of the turn signals . So a short and a long flash, mine does two short flashes

Think mines the same, on a single lock I get one flash and a second flash when double locking. Or two quick presses and two flashes of the indicators. The LED on locking and double locking, the LED will flash quite quickly three times then a pause then three more flashes, this will do a total of nine, three flash sequences then settles down to a single rhythmic flash about five seconds apart.

I know, perhaps we have all assumed everything works as it should.

Can't seeing it being a dummy casing, as with mine before I got the window fixed you could just slide the window down and reach in, so if some low life was to break a window they could do the same with no alarm going off. |

Just tried it, one press get one short flash and do the two press getting two short flashes. No long flashes at all. |

Topix states that an open window will stop the volumetric sensor from activating, so in that case you will still be able to poke your head inside an open window and wave your hands around without the alarm going off.

Could they have been left in "Transit Mode" after delivery to the dealer? Not sure how that operates. |

It really surprises me that everyone on here are so unconcerned about their cars security, it was a small thing to ask others to try and that is what a Forum is supposed to be about Perhaps help is a one way thing here and a rattle here and there is more important than protecting your 'pride and joy'. I can't be arsed anymore. |
