    You can deactivate interior sensors on the cluster (on my 2017) before you get out or, if not, if you just press the remote once, it just locks and sets perimeter alarm, no double locking, no interior sensors

    Thanks for the reply, I don’t think it’s the interior sensors setting the alarm off, I’ve had on occasions the bonnet open alarm on the dash warning and read this is common, so I’m guessing the 2 are linked, I just wondered if I could turn the alarm off for now until I replace the bonnet catch

    You can deactivate the alarm with forscan

    Don't forget to Insulate and secure it.
