Thread: Beach key - Opening door without setting off alarm?

Could my mechanic use his computer to alter the alarm settings?

Dan in Rockhampton would be able to do it without any problems.

I need to get my new, imported FOB programmed to the car so I will ask Dan in Rocky when I go there.

why not just get the water proof key bag/float for the key and keep it on you?

or if you're a surfer get a dry box installed in the board?

So my question is: Is there a way to change the alarm settings so that the alarm is only armed if I lock the car using the FOB and not when I lock it manually by turning the key in the drivers seat lock?[/QUOTE]

Be patient Trippy, someone here will answer the question eventually
Seems like a reasonable idea, maybe ask a Dealer.

ALarm can be set so that locking/unlocking with the key works the same as with the plip. By default it is set to trigger the alarm if the key is used.

You're lucky! The average of my EKA is over 10 and I have to turn the key well into the 40s!

I will have to find someone close with a Nanocom.

For the record - locking with just the key does not engage the deadlocks and allows someone inside to get out, and the volumetric sensors are disabled. If deadlocked the doors cannot be opened from the inside. All the other systems are engaged.

Back in 98 99, D2 was recognised by world wide motoring organisations as the most "thief proof" vehicle in the world with 97/100, a couple got 90 91. Most of best others were in 70s and 80s.

If one gets locked out of a D2, getting in without doing major damage is almost impossible.

Under warranty had the bonnet cable stretch/slip. Dealers had authorisation to smash the grill and do extensive damage up in that area (the underside of the bonnet latch is protected with a riveted plate) to get the bonnet open if the one remaining technique didn't work; ie three mechanics lay across the bonnet and another was pulling on bare cable inside with pliers.

Advice is: be very careful when mucking around with the security systems, if it locks you out it may well cost you big bucks to get back in.

Oh I thought it was just mine lol, first i made the mistake of locking up whilst trying to sleep in the car and set off the alarm (same when locking the dogs in), then I thought Id use the plain key to lock dogs in which was successful but then the damn thing swore at me when I unlocked it (manually, I think, with that same key), so now if dogs are with me the car stays unlocked with w3indows down a bit :/
s;ok... one will drown imposters in slobber and the other will immobilize them with a fart
