I don't understand my oem alarm system
Hey there, I have a 2004 AP2 Honda with alarm system.. but it kinds sucks, I believe I do smth wrong ?
- I open the drivers windows, close doors/trunk/etc and then shut/close the car with the remote key.
- The "red alarm LED" is blinking about 8 times every 1-2 seconds, followed by one very fast blink, then it continues blinking every 3-4 seconds.
- After 5 minutes I put my arm through the window -> no alarm
- I try to steer on the steering wheel (which makes the whole car bumping/moving) -> no alarm
- Trying to open the car from the outside, punching the co-driver window, etc -> no alarm
- ONLY ALARM: When I put my arm through the window and try to "unlock" the car from inside (not opening the door, I mean the "unlock" button).
So the alarm goes off -> I have the OEM alarm.. but the interior sensor as well as the "car bumping" sensor don't seem to work ?
Any help please :S
Thanks

"Here's what it has/does:
Door ajar warning-if trunk or door isn't closed the horn will sound 3 times
Auto relock function-automaticall relocks any door within 30 secs if a door is not opened.
Glass breakage detector-will sound the horn
Visual and audible alarm-flashing lights and horn
Door and trunk sensor-will trigger the horn if these points of entry are opened
Optional hood switch- same as trunk/door sensor.
Looks like there is no shock sensor (someone hitting the vehicle or raising it off the ground) and yes, the horn is the siren."

The OEM alarm was a dealer-installed option, at least in the US, and while I can't
imagine why Honda would supply different alarms in different parts of the world,
it is possible the German market alarm is different from the US (assuming that is
really where you are from).

In the UK at least, there is a minimum standard specification for alarm systems stipulated by insurers, and it's why the MY03 and earlier cars were fitted with a system supplied by a third party manufacturer. (The standard Honda system did not meet the required specifications).
I think the standard system fitted to MY04 cars did meet the specifications, so does include an internal sensor.
