is there anyway to turn off the auto lock on my toad alarm???opened my car door started the car up to warm it up, come back to it couple of mins later and door was locked. completely forgot about the auto door lock. lucky window was down. could of been nasty.lol

 

weird .. I thought it locked as you start the engine ? and doesn't work if the door is open ?

 

+1, i have to actually drive my car and get my revs over 2.5k before it autolocks

thats what i thought. i closed the door straight away, if that makes a diff? lucky the window was open a bit. it normaly locks the door seconds after starting the car, the missis wouldn't of liked that having to bring spare keys to me at 10:30. and get me nippa out of bed. there must be a way of turning it off?

 

That's how it is for me, with a Toad Ai606

 

It is possible to switch the anti hijack lock off , you need to enter the 2 digit pin number supplied when the system was fitted to access the override

 

is there anyway of getting the pin as car was fitted when i brought the car?

 

not sure on the model of toad i have got. how would i find out? where abouts under the dash would it be? cant find mine. the fob is all black with 4 buttons, top 2 (left)lock (right)unlock bottom 2 blank but both work to turn off the immobiliser when keys turned in ignition???

 

It's better left on mate .. and now you know about it, just be careful ..

You only need one attempt at someone getting in for it to be worth the time and effort of having to think about it when you plan to leave the car standing .. which lets face it .. is rare!

 

similar issues with my toad. i do not have to move off for my car to lock itself, as long as key is in and ignition is on my car will autolock within 30 secs. i had toad come out and service my alarm when i bought my car, its 150 notes for the pleasure and ul get ya pin override code

 

As answered by greendragonkungfu. not good news if they charge £150. personally i would approach one of their approved installers to help. will probably be a lot cheaper than asking Toad themselves to help. Look in yellow pages for your local installer.

 

Cheers all will check the yellow pages.

 

i done this once went started my car about 8am closed the door and it locked itself so i thought i no il disconnect battery yes i wasnt thinking :s so i took front grill off lifted bonnet disconnected battery then realised it would still run without being connected so had to call aa there turned up 45 later engine still running so before they done anything they warned me that because the frame less doors that 50% smash the windows by that time i didnt care i just said do it as i was on my last warning at work lol so he put the pad at the top of the window and starting pumping air in to it squeezing my **** cheeks together i slowly opened then put the rod down and opened it never again will i do that ....thought id just share my experience

 

wow sounds like a lot of **** to go through. hope you have a spare key now? lol. im just glad my window was down abit.
