I was curious what exactly will cause the alarm to go off. With my windows left open and my alarm on I opened my door by reaching inside the car and opened it with the interior handle. I was expecting the alarm to go off but to my suprise nothing happened, not even a little beep or warning. Now I mean with the widows open it wouldnt be too hard to get into the car anyway but evenso someone, at least from my understanding, could technically break in the car without the window open and not set off the alarm if me openingi it from the interior doesnt set it off. I'm not very concerned about the car getting stolen, i know its really hard to do and no one really wants to steal one of these (no market), but more about things out of my car getting stolen. Can anyone shed any light on this?

 

Bubba, the other day, car locked, top down. I wanted to get into my
glove box, which was also locked. I reached in, unlooked the glove box
and then opened it. Alarm started to scream. I was really surprised.

 

try shattering the windshield. that might set it off? idk its worth a shot! then send pics

 

I was leaning on my hood the other day, and my alarm went off. Scared the crap out of me too!!

 

That's what you get for leaning on your car.

 

Good point, I guess if someone was leaning on my face I would scream too..

Well not exactly, it would depend on the person...j/k

 

Mine goes of when the weather changes...like before a thunderstorm or a front moves in. Went off 3 times in an hour tonite. Nieghbors ready to kill me. Brought it to dealer three times...no codes all normal. Dealer says garage door openers can do it...no one has auto garage doors around here. He kept it in his service bay for 3 days no alarm...duh...no weather change either.

Questions How do I get ahold of Chyrsler District Service Mgr? (New England) I searched the Chrysler site.

Anyone else experience this?

Anyway of putting a kill switch on it....safe nieghborhood?

If it happened to others how was it fixed?

o5 roadster

 

mine is not that sensitive. i park my car on a lift and i lift it up with the alarm on and nothing. and that is way more loud than a garage door

 

thats a good question.... what does set off the alarm?? glass breakage ? towing? body bumps? doors opened with out key?????????????????????????

 

I don't know what sets it off. Its 5AM now got woke up along with my nieghbors at 4:09 and 4:44am. No wind, nothing.....so I mis another 3 hours pay to bring it to FALVEY in NORWICH, CTwho will say there's nothing wrong with it.

 

Dealer found a bad code in the door lock switch...hope that replacement solves problem

 

hmm i think an apology is necessary

 

and you must be a light sleeper. because i would NEVER be woken up by a car alarm. i sleep through fire alarms. burglar alarms, tornado sirens haha you name it. so if your neighbors start complaining just say hey at least i heard it and turned it off! your neighbors could live by me and it would never be turned off! well until i woke up

 

I did 2 tours in Viet Nam and very attentive to sounds

 

BTW Everyone... the alarm DOES NOT go off with glass breakage.. the car has NO shock sensors.. This includes the windshield and side windows.. I know from first hand experience..

Search for a thread I started about my windshield getting smashed in..

 

No apology neccessary..I love to bust butt. BTW...his second step of "fixing" the problem...disabled the siren. Nice to know when I am in a parking garage sometime.
