Car Alarm
« on: 08 March 2011, 10:21 »

This may sound a bit silly to some but i'll ask anyway  :smiley:

I ordered my car with a car alarm but with a bit of playing around I havent managed to set it off to make sure it is working properly, so my question is: How might I set of my car alarm just to make sure it is woking properly?

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

Leave the window open, set the alarm then put your arm through the window 30 seconds later.

I thought the alarm came as bog standard?

Really? How can a 20k+ car not come with an alarm. I thought ALL cars came with an alarm and that alarms where as standard as seats. Blimey.
