Default Aftermarket alarm constantly going off - Looking for bonnet sensors

Hi everyone,

I recently had an after market RFID, keyless entry and push button ignition system installed in an '04 coupe.
Now the issues. basically when i walk away from the car, it locks itself and arms. Or I can use the remote to manually do this. To lock and unlock/ arm disarm the alarm.

3 seconds later the alarm sirens. every single time.

I got it installed interstate hence my issue.

But talking to them it could be the factory alarm/ central locking competing for dominance or the hood pins, boot pin or door lockers aren't fully engaging and setting off the alarm.

I need to know where the sensors are for the bonnet and boot as well as the doors. Isolate the sensor and maybe disable it.

Any help would be appreciated. im trying to avoid spending more money on an auto sparky. When I get back to NSW i can just take it back to the original installers. But thats some time away.

Thankyou all

Boot & bonnet are in the respective latches, door sensors are the little button switches in the pillar at the rear of each door.

Champion. I'll see how I go tomorrow. Love the system just need it to work right.
To leave it locked and not sounding. I walk away it beeps once. I disarm and unlock the after market. 2 beeps. Then engage factory central locking.

Found all the other ones except the boot switch. Can't find it. It's in he latch on the top I take it.
But didn't seem to do anything. Fearing I might have to actually pay to get it fixed.
