After playing around with the alarm last night I decided to finally read the alarm handbook.
It mentions auto rearm taking place after 45 seconds.
In the interest of science I unlocked the car, without opening any doors, and waited.
Needless to say the imobiliser kicked back in but the doors remained open.
Is there a way of having the alarm reset and lock the doors after the quoted time or do you have to buy an extra part ?
I only ask as my 2 year old thinks making the car bleep in the garage is great fun even when I'm not there to check it's locked when he's finished

 

I have an Engineers installation manual that i could mail you. I believe this has the info you need to activate Auto-Rearm.
It's on my PC at work, so i'll send it tomorrow if you like.

Can't really set to autolock the doors after 45 secs can they...??

What if you switch off engine, leave your keys in car, open garage door, then find the cars locked itself... that would be a bit stupid ????

There is a way to set the doors to lock after 45 secs of you DISABLE the alarm...

Leave your keys in the car at your own peril !!
Even if it is just for a few seconds.

 

The clifford alarms have been able to do this for ages. When I first enabled it on my old car about 4 years ago I used to carry a spare key in my wallet (just a basic key that unlocked the doors but no transponder to start the engine) in case I left the keys in and autolocked.

Never had to use it, and I no longer carry it because it's second nature to me now that if I'm getting out the car even to stand right next to it then I take the keys. Only thing that would worry me is if you let someone else drive your car but I almost never do so it's not really a problem.
