Anyone else suffered heat related problems with the omnisensor?.....been getting false alarms since having this bloody thing fitted 2 weeks ago. Disconnected the omnisensor, which isn't mounted a million miles away from where the exhaust is routed, and the false alarms have miraculously stopped. Anyone else had this or similar?

How was it mounted?

Hi, it was mounted under the back seat, on the opposite side to the exhaust. However, if it's heat related, I'd expect the heat to still reach it there.

j@directedtech

Not where dude, how. Was it mounted on a vertical plane, with the arrow facing up, and screwed up with at least 2 screws?

Ah, misunderstood, no, not mounted vertically, screwed down to floor under seat, if that makes sense, cheers. Take it that the vertical/horizontal thing makes a difference?

j@directedtech

Yes very much so. That is why it is not functioning correctly. It needs to be mounted witht the arrow on the sensor facing up! Go back to your installer and ask him to check it out for you!

Hi, had another look, can't even see the arrow, so it's possible the unit's been mounted onto the side that displays it. Been back to the dealer ( before I read this, typically ), and they've 'adjusted' the sensitivity....get home, set the alarm, 10 mins later, false alarm, what a surprise. Disconnected the omnisensor again, no probs, so it's deffo related to that unit. Tempted to do without it now, tbh.

Are you sure its the Omnisensor and not the prox? Whats written on it?

Hi, sorry, just seen this, too dark to look now, I'll have a look tomorrow and come back, cheers.
