Please help on my new factory alarm

[dinlo]

I just picked up my MCS from the dealer today. I have them to install the alarm, install the sill plate (Here for more info )and fix the HID washer.(Here for more info )

Not a very good experience!!

Anyway I got my alarm done, and I found out one thing, when I get off the car I lock/arm the door. Then I found out I left something in the car, so I unlock/disarm the car, then I can not lock/arm the car again, it just beep when I press the lock key. I need to wait for a while then I can lock it.

Does anyone have the same problem? Is that the way it suppose to work? Thanks

dinlo,

I installed the factory alarm and had my dealer arm the unit. I don't have the problem you described.

Regards,
Boris

dinlo,

I too just installed my alarm and had my dealer activate it. I do not have a delay in locking/arming the car if I forgot something inside after unlocking/ disarming.

Now, if you leave a door, the boot or the bonnet open, the alarm will beep/chirp to let you know that something isn't closed correctly and won't lock. Go try this. You probably just didn't have something shut.

How about the sun roof or the windows is not close all the way.

Thanks

Hmmm. I haven't tried that. I'll check later when I go home from work today. That may be the case. Maybe when the windows and sunroof aren't closed the alarm sounds to let you know the tilt/motion sensor are deactivated. Did you know if you lock/arm the car and then press lock again on the remote you deactivate the tilt/ motions sensors? Cool!

I just tried with all door closed, I unlock, lock and unlock, after 2 times, it start beep and will not allow me to lock the door for about 1 min. Then I will lock.
