KIYO Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 The search function is disabled so I posted here. "SQL ERROR: Thu, Aug 26 2004 02:44:06 +0100 Database error only visible to forum administrators" I think the only region that does NOT have the stock alarm equipped is Japan. I used VAG-COM to beep when lock and unlock but as my R does not have the alarm, there were no beep. Stock immobilizer is equipped. So, here is my Q. 1) Are there any specific module for the alarm system? Or is it included in the other system such as ECU? I know speaker for the alarm will be needed separately. 2) If I want to fit the stock alarm, do I have to cable any sensors to the doors or does it use the ECU signal? 3) Are there anyone who've fitted third party alarm system and doesn't need the stock alarm any more? If you feel it is unsafe to disclose your information on the forum, please PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know if there is any difference in the "Comfort Control Module" between Japanese spec and other specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hi Kiyo, I am afraid I have no idea where the alarm CU is located, but UK cars have a small button (glows red) to disable the interior alarm function (ie dog left in the car) and also you can see the ultrasonic detectors in the interior lights (side of the car) - maybe sit in your car, lock the car and move about and see if it works ? Hope this helps Martin PS If you want photos of these let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIYO Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Thanks for your reply. I once accidentally pressed the key and locked myself inside the car, but nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIYO Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Thank you for your information. I didn't know that you don't have alarms in US. You should have one. But, I heard many malfunction about stock alarm. May be you can change your honk with VAG-COM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Gamma, as Kiyo says, I'm pretty sure you can change it with VAGCOM. UK spec cars don't come with the blip, most of us have either VAGCOM'd it or got the dealers to do it. Good luck! Al.
