laumk7 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 First of all apologies if this has been asked before Anyway, I've got one of these on my new car I've ordered and now waiting somewhat impatiently for Is it one of those annoying alarms that sound and go 'step away from the vehicle', or is it just a standard siren alarm if someone tries to break in?

alexp999 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 It means the car will alarm if it detects unauthorised entry through the car's perimeter. e.g. If a door, the boot or bonnet opens without the key unlocking the car and deactivating the alarm. There are no internal motion sensors though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 This is kind of related to the security issue with keyless entry we've been talking about. Can thieves still get at the OBD port without setting off the perimeter alarm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 From what I have read it is possible yes, but I'm not going to post how. When I had my Fiesta with keyless entry, I moved the OBD port out of reach. It is easy enough to do, just push the two clips in at the side and it pops out, then you can tuck it out of the way. I don't know if the MK7.5 is still susceptible though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 ST alarm no, if they don't set the sensors off they'll set it off when the door opens etc. Could be made near theft proof if you get that anti shatter window film, can't get in then unless they chop the windows out or a door off.

jeebowhite Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Also perimeter alarm can extend to someone who ones into contact with the vehicle outside or I'd looking into a vehicle. These can trigger a perimeter alarm function too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
