Alarm Movement Sensor - disabling for sleeping / leaving dogs / windows ajar [thread merge]

[andys]

Could do with a second button in the rear to save climbing over the seats when they’re swivelled.

Pretty sure I remember somebody doing this about a year ago a d posting a thread about it.

Here you go
Locking doors from the back of the van. ~ Stop me before I do something silly :P

Do all Highlines have an alarm? Mine has the switch but no visible ultrasonics?

Yes, alarm and immobiliser is standard equipment in a highline. Believe the ultrasonics are in the roof console by the courtesy light.

Cheers Davey, guess I'm used to the sticky out ultrasonics of old.

Just a query for those with VAGCOM / VCDS / what have you..

Can the coding be changed so that the internal sensors button uses the sliding door open / closed signal instead of signals from the drivers door? Would make camping loo trips easier (when both seats have been swivelled and you can’t climb out of the drivers’ door).

Why don’t you just lock all the doors with the buttons rather than the alarm. Then you can open the sliding door from inside and the alarm won’t go off.

That’s what we do.

But what about if someone tries to tow me away whilst sleeping?

No, good shout, I didn’t think of using that button.
Query settled. Thanks gents.

Mines a little sensitive, sometimes the alarm goes off at night with nothing in it for no reason. Anyone else experience that?

Nope, try emptying a can of fly spray in the cab and leave it overnight.

@Loz must admit, one time a big moth flew out, but tonight... hmmm... nothing.... so I have hit the switch to disable internal sensors... night night!

Would you use that if you're sleeping in the van too with all the doors closed?

No if you lock the doors with the buttons rather than using the key fob the internal sensors dont activate.

If you lock by pushing down the buttons, the tailgate would still be unlocked.

I reach over to the driver’s door and use the lock/unlock rocker switch which locks all the doors but doesn’t deadlock/alarm.

You can then double pull on an internal door handle to open.

You can change to all lock/unlock in Carista and VCDS.

You can change to all lock/unlock in Carista and VCDS.

But locking manually by pushing down buttons does not activate the central locking so would not lock the tailgate.

I didn't know that, I seem to remember that there was an option to include rear doors/tailgate in this, so thanks for the heads up.
