I have used the panic feature on my alarm to make it go off, the indicators flash as if the alarm is activated and the siren makes a very very quiet noise that sounds like the alarm.

Im guessing the siren unit is broke. I have the two button keyfob type (V plate s2k). Is this common. The siren is on the left hand side of the engine bay near the front.

Also - unrelated - the boot opening funtion (pressing the unlock button a second time when the indicator light flashes to open the boot) doesn't seem to work

Thanks

 

There's a timing knack to getting the boot to open. I wait a second after first pressing and then press again and hold, and it seems to work 9 times out of 10 (usually only when not holding something really heavy)

Leaving the bonnet or boot open and then setting the alarm should cause it to go off after a while.

 

My siren is knackered too.

Boot opening only works 65.3838263625% of the time. It is a knack

 

Better than my 0% ratio then

 

Got a MY04 3-button fob alarm, which was I think, factory fitted. As far as I can make out it doesn't have a panic feature. Is this a step backwards?

Anyway, most of my panicking takes place in high speed corners - i don't have time to fumble for the keyfob

It is.

It is a big improvement over the POS alarm that Honda UK installed into the earlier cars.

 

So does anyone know why the siren would not be working? i have this issue as well! Can you buy a replacement siren?

 

Mine works just very very very quietly, you can only hear it with bonnet up.

There is also a control box in the engine bay on the left that looks a bit aftermarket? I assume this is the alarm control unit and was fitted by Honda UK too?
