Don't Lock Your Disco with a Nanocom Plugged in.

**Benny_IIA** · 24th November 2009, 01:54 PM

Hi Guys,

In my wisdom I locked the Disco with the Nanocom plugged in, and then I could not unlock it with the remote or the key.

I got it towed to techno British and they said it would not unlock because of the nanocom was plugged in.

Did I miss something when I brought it (should come with a warning).

It's all good to go now, they opened the bonnet from under the car (originally they wanted to smash the window.)

Not heard that one before – I’ve often left my Nanocom plugged in while the car is locked overnight (and longer). Maybe I won’t from now on…

My Nanocom is left plugged in permanant. Sits on the Dash with the GPS - Turn it on after I start the car, and it powers down by itself when I turn off ... like, for the last 6 months!

NEVER had any unlocking issues.

Turns out the door lock was broken key would not engage the locking mechanism.

When it was locked the bonnet was up. Dad then put the bonnet down and tired to unlock it with the remote.

yep, my nanocom is wired and fixed permanently to a pod on the dash, stays plugged in all the time, for at least the last 18 months no problem

I have been doing the same thing.

I locked the doors with bonnet up and then dad shut it and tired to unlock it and it would not let him

Maybe it is just her time of the month

hmm, regularly lock mine with the bonnet up. usually when i am chargin the second battery from solar panel and want to keep the car locked up. i think i usually just shut the bonnet and the alarm automatically goes to full lock mode, it does give me a beep warning to let me know the bonnet is up though, same as if a door is open.

Did you have to use the key to open it?

turns out the lock is broken inside and key will not work

As above.
Even tested out the issue of un locking the door and locking whilst the battery is disconnected as Im waiting for a new alternator to turn up.It works like it should!!!!
