if the battery in the remote is low does the warning sound come from the actual remote control its self or does the warning come in the form of extra chirps on the car alarm?

 

Didn't think it gave any churps. Only did that if the door/boot/bonnet was open/not quite shut...

Might be wrong though...

 

Im sure it should let you know shouldnt it? rather than just give up the ghost

Only reason i ask is i was sat on the pc everything silent in my room and i heard a little beep sound, wasnt my mobile, wasnt the car sat on the drive.............

 

the chirps will come from the car when you press unlock/lock . they will be higher pitched (i think) to indicate low battery in the fob , i am 99% sure that correct anyway

 

cheers mate, ive got no issues i just wondered thats all

 

The battery is fine if the DISARM chirp sounds normal, if the chirp is a low grunt sound on disarm then the battery is getting low and will need replacing. The battery will continue to work for quite a few months even when there is a warning grunt!

The beeping you here when turning your ignition off then on then off is for overiding the self arming feature (if activated in the first place) which is ideal for fueling up when passengers are in the car. If your Clifford self arms, the alarm will set 30 seconds after the last door is closed and just as you go into the petrol station to pay for fuel one of you passengers will move & set the alarm off (which is a real pain in the ar*se)
Turning your engine off at the pump then flicking your ignition back on then off results in a beep which means for just this one cycle the Clifford will not arm the alarm : Note the immobiliser will still arm after 30 seconds on Cat 1 Cliffords.

Also if you need to start the car after the immobiliser has set you can turn the ignition key to the fully on position and press the main button on your remote...

 

There are 2 posable reasons for no arm / disarm chirps.
Your clifford may be programed for no arm / disarm chirps.
Or
The siren battery has failed. (This dosent mean the siren will not go off when triggered, just no arm / disarm chirps to let you know the internal battery is flat)

If you got chirps when you programed the keyfob out & back in again then chances are everything is ok.

 

i think what "VW 08" was getting at was he heard a beep when inside the house that wasn't his car and didn't know where it come from , that what made him ask if the key fob itself beeps when the battery low
