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?

Is the alarm set as soon as the car is locked?

No, the entire system takes between 30-50 secs to be fully armed.

So bascially all i do is lock my car with the key fob and wait 1 minute and the alarm should be set?

Yes, wait a minute then wave your hand about inside via the window you left open. It has sensors inside the car so when you wave your hand it thinks someone is inside your car and set the alarm off.
