Is yours the upgrade alarm? Hi Chris,Finally took delivery last Friday of my XR6T from City Ford.What a great car !!!Like you, I opted for the Sentry Alarm upgrade.Much to my surprise, the appear to be no movement sensors in the cabin.My other 2 fords EB & EL both had movement sensors when I chose the smartlock upgrades.Does your's have sensors ?Thanks,Murray...

Most times BUT NOT ALWAYS, if I press the boot release without unlocking the doors first, the alarm beeps twice and when I open the boot the alarm is triggered. The anoying thing is that SOMETIMES it beeps three times and the alarm is not triggered Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1304-factory-alarm/page/2/#findComment-23734 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiHave you had the car in for service recently ? I had a V8 XT in at a dealership and they turned the alarm off (Sentry alarm, small keyswitch on the back of the speaker) when it was in for service ! I wasn't impressed , as I was out of the country for 2 weeks and my wife didn't know that it was meant to beep... It had been parked all over the place without the alarm on :( ! Wonder if the dealership would have come up with the $$$$$ if it had been stolen ? (I think that my insurer might have had something to say about this as well !)That's the last time I leave the set (key, remote, glove compartment and alarm) of keys with the dealer !Scott Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1304-factory-alarm/page/2/#findComment-23741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are awaiting the upgrade. The new ones should beep as the BEM's have been factory programed. And as for the boot thing I suffer from the same prob. But mine never beeps three times it just picks and chooses when to go off. Some times it does and other time it dosent. Im waiting for my first service to give the Guys at my dealership time to get the right stuff and and to use other cars as guniea cops. It appears to be a Ford thing and all the mechanics I've talked to are getting peeeedddd offff.

We don't mind minor glitches but these delays are inexcusable.

And are unaware of any other alarm related issues."Anyone else heard a different story?

I wonder if ANYONE in Ford actually knows or can tell the "truth"????
