When the alarm is engaged, should it disengage when you open the boot using the key? Mine doesn't, which means the alarm goes off every time I forget to unlock the car before opening the boot. Very annoying.

 

Unlocking from the doors only mate

The trigger look is connected to the door locks so you actually need to turn the barrel to arm/disarm the alarm

Holding it locked also does stuff on the later models with the light and the higher spec models are exactly the same as the lower spec ones as they all use the same door open switches

 

So this behaviour is standard? How annoying.

 

yup, afraid so

there is a way to disable it, but then you can't work the rest of the alarm either, maybe i should restrict this to pm's
