alarm sound?

[onlyme]

hi guys. just picked up my new megane, fantastic so far!

only thing i would like to do is get the alarm to actually make a sound when alarming and disarming. as of yet i havent managed to get the alarm to work, or it doesnt seem to be,

can anyone give me a heads up on what proseses there are for this?

the alarm instruction book only seems to have a "deactivation" prosess, so far i have managed to do somthing that made it bleep 4 times lol and i manage to set off some sort of high pitched drone..... but no sign of a siren or anything.

any help apreciated!

figured out how to deadlock now but still havent managed to get any sound out of her

its not known how to get a beep when arming/disarming.

some ppl on here have it after they took their car in for a service. needless, renault uk don't have a clue either. perhaps contact cobra.

no problem ill have to do without lol.. If I press the ignition button 5 times then remove card and lock the car the car beeps 4 times but then it doesn't when you come to unlock it. Bit odd oh well thanks for your help!

Pressing button 5 times before locking disables the interior sensors.
If you want to test the alarm lock it with someone in car or leave a window down and wave your arm around inside(don't deadlock it though as window will shut on your arm!!)

If you rapidly touch/untouch the positive cable to the battery for a few seconds, this in turn, for a reason unkown will ativate the audiable alarm.

one beep for open.

two beeps for locked.

three beeps for dead locked.


Well at least thats how i got my UK spec to do it. Makes a beep/beeps of the alarm on locking/unlocking and a long beep if a door/boot/bonnet/fuel is open.

Yea it works. Has to be in rapid succession.

I think it’s a total reset of the ECU and so reverts to European setting of the alarm (with the beeps) as to the UK spec (without the beeps) It’s something to do with in the UK all cars have the alarm beeping deactivated.Why i dont know.

I now much prefair having the beeping as i have a audio response to the state of locking.

what about leavin the terminal off for a period of time
on my seat leon if you do this for 10 mins it resets the ecu (believe negative

[Paddy]

I don't think so, because this would mean all would start beeping if the battery was disconnected for any engine/electric work and this doesn't happen.

But the above does work im sure of it, i have done it on more than one car.

ok but is there a corect amount of times you should touch the poss to the bat? just doing it willy nilly and quickly seems a bit odd to me lol
