Bf Ii Typhoon Alarm - Changing Settings

[TyZoom]

Hi All,

My first post, be gentle with me.

I picked up my BF II Typhoon a couple of weeks back (2200 kms already), and as you do I read the manual (Well some of you). There was a section about setting up the alarm to auto arm. Well having the alarm seemed to make sense that it should auto arm so I thought I would try it.

The manual talks about unlocking the car, turning the ignition key to acc 8 times or 16 times then to off,press the unlock on the key fob and..... well nothing. Its meant to flash the indicators and change the options.

Could I get this to work, I think I might have worn out the key already. I managed to change the unlock to only unlock the drivers door, but nothing else would work.

Anyone out there changed these settings and got it working ?

BTW these cars are so good, I had a BA XR6 T with a CAPA and 234 rwkw, but the F6 is very different, best decision I've made for a while.

Thanks for your advice.

Haven't tried this option om our F6 as it would be a pain in the arse when you'r at home trying to clean the car or packing it up, the thing would try and lock itself up when the doors are shut. I'd rather turn the alarm on when I want to by using the fob to lock the doors.

AFAIR if you leave the keys in the ignition it won't automatically lock itself.

Its both a pain in the arse and a blessing.

It auto arms only after engine shutdown and doors shut. It will not lock the doors, only the alarm even with the keys out. Its good if you forget to lock when at the servo. And its bad if you have others in the car, because if you don't leave one of the doors open, your mates set the alarm off. I'm thinking about setting mine back to how it came standard.

Hi Sparksy,

Did you have any issues changing the settings ? Is yours a BF II ?

I'm sure I'll end up putting it back to standard, but it niggles me that I can't get it to auto arm.

I'll re-type what the manual says when I get home tonight. See if you all agree with how I interpret what it says.

Mine is a BF 1, but I think its the same alarm etc. It took me about half an hour for it to work following the book. Just got to get the sequence and timing right. Its fiddly.
