Default Alarm/ Key Fob

Does anyone know how this thing works? I used the dented button to open and un-arm the immobiliser, and the raised one to lock the car. Sometimes it beeps and other times it doesn't.

I cant work out how to make it beep or not, just not sure what Im doing with it. Anyone got any ideas?

Instructions are in the FAQ: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13724026573797

It should never beep. Beeps indicate that a door/bonnet/boot is open. All in the link.

Possibly the worst alarm system I have had on any car I have seen/owned.

The only thing that lets this car down!

Thanks guys. I noticed that if I held the lock button down for a couple of seconds and then did it again it does chirp.

Hi there,

Mine only chirps if I leave a door open and try to lock the car with the imobiliser(??) fob.

A bit dramatic, but we know what you mean

Does anyone know the battery size for this key fob. Most dealers and car part dealers look at me like I should hire Indiana Jones to find one.

It depends which fob you have, either an MN21 12V bigger fob or a 10A C5 9V smaller fob

It's the small fob with the inset button and the raised button for the AP1 model. eBay are selling the fob for £20 which is extortionate
