If I lock my car hence setting the alarm and leave the windows open surely the alarm should sound if I poke my head in through one of them???

Also, if the dog is left in the back it should go off surely??

Is it faulty?? or is it a 'feature' of the car to go with my hesitation??

What sort of sensors does your alarm system have?

 

Errrrrrrrrrrm little black microphone type things at the top of the window trim at the front??? Is that ultra-sonic??

Pete

 

if you have got the factory fit sigma then i'm pretty sure that you can tun the internal sensors off by using the keypad look in the alarm book and it should tell you how to reactivate them if they are turned off

 

There is a pre-set delay in the standard supplied alarm - are you being patient?

 

Why don't you try sitting in the car, setting the alarm and see if it goes off.

Are you sure that the alarm is actually still working?

 

Alot of alarms will sense if there is something in the car before it adjusts and adapt to it, thus only leaving perimeter sensors active, but then again i have an after market system.....
when u shove your head through the door it shoud pick you up and be set off, most are set off by either the interior light being activated or the glass breaking.

Ultra-sonic?? - no mate, that's your mouth.....

 

When I had my Pug 205 with Peugeot alarm, you could press the arm button twice which would de-activate the sensors. This was useful when the windows were open in summer.

See if your alarm has a similar system

Dream Weaver - thanks yes it has a system by way you can de-activate the internal sensors, if, you are leaving a dog in the car for instance.

I will have a look see when I get back from Florida cheers!!

even with the sensors on there are certain breads of dogs that absorb these ultrasonic waves and wont set off the alarms, they're called stealth dogs.

 

Hey sheep ******* bu66er off back to the fluffy mountains

Did you hear my new air horns?? you are about 50 yards away as the crow flies!!

now clear off!!

I left the kids in the car once and went into the shop.

The alarm started going off with them wriggling about.

If your dog is quite mean looking then you could just lock the driver's door as you get out which, due to the central locking, will lock the other doors as well. Then just shut door

When want to unlock just press key fob, which sets alarm and quickly press again to unlock.

Car should be fine - our dog goes apes**t if anyone goes within a few feet of the car - nobody sane would try and break in.
