Hello,

This seems really stupid, but how can I leave my car with the windows down on a sunny day? All my other cars I have been able to do it.

No matter what state I leave the lock in (unlocked / locked / dead-locked) the alarm trips after a couple of minutes.

This means the car hits about 1000 degrees by the time i need to use it.

There is no chance of the car being stolen, it's parked outside my office window in a secure car park.

    Not sure if your vehicle has this option in the settings/menu?

    There is an option on the computer to ask on exit if you want to disable the alarm.
