Pretty crap for what you pay.Oh sorry, it DOES go off if the battery is disconnected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm in the car, if I use the button on the driver's door to lock the car, about 30 seconds later (if the engine is not running) the alarm automatically arms itself. Then when I get out the car, of course the alarm goes off. If I press the button down while the engine is running, it will automatically arm about 30 seconds after turning the engine off. It is quite strange as it only does it for the button on the door. The button on the ICC works fine.Not to worry (I hope). I have my car booked in for the 3000km service tomorrow. Hopefully they will fix this then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My BEM wont accept it at all. But I did get to see what they can do. Most of the functions can be enabled or disabled when they hook up. Ie seat belt warning, interior lights, bla bla blaa. So mees think it a new BEM on monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a new one in and it still doesnt work. WTF? All this talk is making me think to hang on for Series 2. The sooner you fix these problems up ford the sooner I part with my hard erned cash.

Posted 01/05/03 12:01 PM Share Posted 01/05/03 12:01 PM No probs here at all, all alerts work OK, but would like the little tune when you turn off the iginition with the lights on like my EL had. Then again I didn't get the alarm option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
