Default Alarm triggers

Does anyone know what all can trigger the alarm in a roadster? I assume opening the center console or doors? Perhaps the glove box hood and trunk? I assume it senses an open circuit at specific locations? It would be nice to know what is actually secure with the top down and alarm set. Of course it would be important for coupes as well.

Did you ever receive answer on this? I finally got around to replacing the siren of my roadster. I went with the updated siren that has an audible when the doors are locked and unlocked. I pressed the panic button to test it and is it just me or is the "updated" siren not quite as loud as the original one was?
Anyways, loud enough to give you a heart attack when it goes off unannounced.
Would love to know how it protects the roadster when the top is down (if at all). I'd imagine if both windows are up, someone could jump over the road bars but as soon as they would try to open the arm rest, glove box or the doors from the inside the things would go off..I guess that would technically leave enough time for them to remove my stereo screen and on their way out the siren would be ticked off.

Personally do not have a roadster but... Isn't it pretty well explained in the owner's manual (easily downloaded here on the forum for free in the documents collection)? If it isn't in the owners manual, am pretty sure it is in the service manuals set (again, downloadable for free in the documents collection here in the forum).

You are right! I just didn't know the manual was there for download. I knew about the service manual. Thanks for the tip. My car didn't come with the manual unfortunately! ;( Always wanted to buy one but this is even better...I can just download to my tablet. Thanks bro!
