Hi - I am travelling on a sea cat ferry next week and need to know how to turn the alarm off to prevent it going off , is it that button on the door pillar?
cheers
-
Yes, that's the on/off for the anti towing system. You can't turn the complete system off, but the door pillar button is all you need for ferry crossings
Hope it's not too rough :sick:
-
I wish my sensors would turn on!
Interior sensors haven't reacted for months! Any ideas? :chicken: :confused:

Do I just press the button once and hey presto? How to I re activate?
cheers

Auto resets after you lock that car again.
1 Button press does the trick

Any idea what may be wrong with interior alarm sensors young man? I've posted above

Lock it manually(TWICE) this will lock all the doors & turn off the proximety sensors inside. :smiley:

Hmm, no I don't. I don't suppose VCDS shows anything? Fuse check? I'm sure you've thought of those yourself. After those stunning revelations, I'm fresh out of ideas. I can't say I've ever come across an alarm with u/s interior sensors.
The switch controls the motion sensors, but doesn't control the interior ultrasonic sensors. I'm sure I read somewhere about disabling the sensors when you lock a dog/child in the car. Give me a bit & I'll go find out

This has been doing my head in to. Be good to be able to turn off the interior sensors to Leave the dog in the boot.

In early GTI's there is a two way rocker switch on the door pillar that lets you switch off either the interior sensors and / or the anti tow sensor. But I'm pretty sure pressing the lock button twice on the remote also disables the interior sensors.

Well, I stand corrected. According to my owners manual, the button on the pillar switches both the anti tow AND the interior sensors off. Remove ignition key, press button, button will glow yellow. Lock vehicle, button will be extinguished. The next time the vehicle is unlocked, the anti tow and interior sensors will be reactivated automatically, ready for the next time the vehicle is locked.
So:

Mike, use the button when you imprison your hounds :happy2:

Still no wiser about this, Keano :sad1:

Nope. If you do that, the deadlocking is disabled, but all other features of the alarm will be active, including the interior sensors

No, see above. That just disables deadlocking
-
Pressing the button twice quickly meant to disable interior sensors?
Remember trying this before but the alarm still went off :(

Hi - I am travelling on a sea cat ferry next week and need to know how to turn the alarm off to prevent it going off , is it that button on the door pillar?
cheers
good luck with the other cars parked near you they pack you in like a cattle Market .. I've just come back from Rotterdam and was hovering round my car so nobody opens doors etc .. Stressful time :scared:

I insist on parking with the freight. No ramps to negotiate or useless sods with massive family cars swinging their doors all over

I've checked in the owner's manual, Mike. It only disables the deadlocking.

Doh. Thanks :happy2:

I thought the same. Had to comb the manual before I found it. Was just as surprised as you.

Sea cat? Thought that stopped running?
You going from Dover - france? Half hour crossing?

Really, this is the info I got a couple years back from here and has worked for a few peeps on here too!
If I lock it manually twice quickly via the barrel all the car locks and the LED stops flashing, thus the interior sensors not active!.. :confused:
