Do VRS's have Alarms

magic moo · 03-11-2007, 20:45

i have a mk1 Octy VRS and i have tried to set the alarms of in loads of different ways... from getting in the car and jumping around like i was at some 80's bass rave to leaving a window open and climbing in.......but to no prevail. i was now thinking do i actually have an alarm

can anyone help or at least set me straight on how to set it off. (and no i don't want to put a brick through a window i just had them tinted)

cheers Moo

In a word, no.

magic moo · 03-11-2007, 20:49

well that cleared that up then lol so i only have the central locking and no alarm ......that sux a bit for a top of the range car...

cheers Moo

Lummox · 03-11-2007, 20:52

Thats the thing you see, vRS isnt top of the range.

In spec the Elegance and the L+K are above it.

magic moo · 03-11-2007, 20:55

That sux even more than not having an alarm lol but everyone knows the VRS is the best lol. is it hard to get an alarm fitted

Cheers Moo

One way I found of setting alarm off in my Mk1 vRS was lock the car with button on Keyfob (leave for about 1min), then unlock door with key, then when you open the door the alarm would go off.

Lummox · 03-11-2007, 20:58

Nope, should be pretty straight forward to upgrade yours to CAT 1.

Lummox · 03-11-2007, 21:07

Have a look through your Yellow Pages, find a few local alarm fitters and punt about for a price.

I wonder if the Irish and UK specs differ then as the UK one definitely doesn't have an alarm.... this is the reason you can't set it to chirp-chirp when locking the car...

Lummox · 03-11-2007, 21:18

Aye I think the Irish and WRC specs do have one.

smstext · 03-11-2007, 22:50

howmany times are you pressing the key when you lock it?

It won't make a difference - the Mk1 vRS doesn't have an alarm

So that's why it did not work then

I had a cat1 sigma m30 fitted to my mk1 vRS, you get another fob with the m30 and several other usefull features.

Total Closure, lock the car and all windows close automatically.
A second imobiliser in the alarm system.
A usefull function which by using the second imobiliser, would totally disable the car even if the potential thief had the correct key. To defeat this, a pin code requires entering on a keypad before you can start the car.

oh my god sounds like Bond!!! James Bond just rolled up lol....that sounds really cool having a key pad and all the extra stuff but the hole idea of having two key fobs is a little off putting. if any one has any other alarms fitted let me know i think i need one in the area i live lol WESTON is a really vicious place

**mannyo** · 04-11-2007, 09:34

You could get the M35, which upgrades the current imobiliser to cat1 and uses the key remote.

xram · 04-11-2007, 11:06

Mine VRS has alarm (06-2003)

Lummox · 04-11-2007, 11:15

Yes but your not in the UK

UK spec seems a little tight on the alarm side of things.
