A friend has a 1.6 MK4 Golf and somehow he keeps setting the alarm off, so he's driving down the road with the horn blaring.
Josho's got a VAG-COM which he's going to lend me, but we're both unsure on whether or not it will be able to completely disable the thing?
Thanks!

Assuming it's a full version, then yeah you can. You can trick it into thinking it has no alarm, so just the remote central locking remains. It should really only be a temporary measure until you fix the initial fault though.. otherwise you have to tell mr. insurance man you have no alarm anymore.

Ah, didn't think of that.
No idea whether it's full or not, their company is just getting fitted out with new equipment, but if it's his personal thing I doubt it will be full.
How would you go about tricking it?
Thank you very much!

Scan it for fault codes could be a faulty sonic sensor in the interior lights :smiley:

Will do thanks. I think it's more of a user error and someone clicking too many buttons ect. :rolleyes:
Although saying that the range has gone sh!te and the mechanical alarm/disarm it says about in the manual is broken as well.
