So stupid and can't believe I haven't spotted this yet what is it for?

Some sort of alarm I'm guessing?

Where the drivers seatbelt hangs, lower part of the A pillar is it?

Thanks for that how do I tell if the interior sensors are active or de-active? Just I've done that whole lock yourself in the car and wobble about and my alarm didn't go off :(

As said top half to disable sensors bottom anti-tilt sensor. 

How did you lock your car before testing the sensor?  if you use the switch on the door the alarm wont arm, I have set mine off before when sat in the back and I locked the doors using the remote.  I believe the switch only deactivates for the next time the car is alarmed and will default back to ultrasonics on, same with tilt.  The time I set the alarm off it was a good 5-10 minutes before the alarm triggered so it may have a timer before the sensor is triggered.

Mine's been set off before with someone sat in the passenger seat and only took seconds to activate.

I read about that anti tilt alarm button but in my daily job I reqularly use a recovery trailer  (front axle lift) and you must have the key in and steering lock disengaged.
Is the button for use on flatbeds I wonder?

The inclination sensor is for when the more sophisticated thieves that have access to a crane come to take your pride and joy.

A lot of the budget Vag range Skoda and Seat don't have them

Also when I upgraded my CCM it had a Alarm trigger that was logged due to the inclination sensor. So the car had been in an accident and was towed or carried away
