Guest 1BHG460 Guests Posted 20/06/03 09:27 AM Share Posted 20/06/03 09:27 AM Hi FPRXR-6,This will be a difficult one to solve. Those of us who chose to have the alarm fitted by the dealer have never had the beep (except when opening the boot). And the dealers don't have the software yet to modify the BEM that controls this feature.I prefer not having it on, because it allows you to sneak out a night for quick blast without waking up the neighbours?????

That is crap and totally unacceptable. For the record, my alarm is fitted by the dealer and beeps every time I press it on of off. The only time it doesn't is if it is already off - in which case the light comes on but no sound (I know ... dickhead trying to turn it off when it's not even on!!) On the other side of the coin, if I try to turn it on once it is already on it goes off - gave me a hell of a fright the first time I did that!!!I would be interested to know how you go - be sure to give us all of the details once you've spoken to them!!Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your dealer can change the settings of the alarm and make it beep when you arm and disarm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 21/06/03 12:17 AM Share Posted 21/06/03 12:17 AM Mine never has beeped thank christ, to lock one press ,you hear it lock ,door knob goes down,blinks twice. To open driver door only ,one press. To open all doors ,two presses.To open stinken boot without alarm sounding, you have to press door first, sucks ford. Most ppl seem to find this to be the case.
