Hello friends,
I need your help.
After the alarm system was somehow deactivated last time when I locked and unlocked the car with the key in the door lock, I was actually quite happy and had no more problems until this week.
But now I had the car n the workshop and somehow they had drained the battery completely what activated the alarm system again. However, this time I can't get it deactivated anymore at all.
I think that it is not a factory installation because:
- a retrofit LED is installed in the dashboard and
- a cable with a button is dangling loosely behind the steering wheel cover.
But I can't find a controller.
The situation is as follows:
- The system activates automatically a few seconds after the vehicle is locked => the LED flashes 1x every 10-15 seconds.
- As soon as the car is unlocked and the door is opened, the system starts to honk.
- With the ignition on, the alarm is silenced by pressing the above mentioned button. Without ignition, only the LED stops flashing, but the horn continues.
- If the ignition is switched on by pressing the button while the system is armed, the horn sounds 4x briefly and the LED flashes quickly. Pressing the button again makes the horn sound 3x again and the LED is off. However, only until the next closing again.
If anyone has an idea based on the description or maybe knows what system is installed, where I can get instructions for it or who I could possibly ask about it, I would be super grateful for any hint. I can't expect my neighbors to have the alarm system go off every time I get in.
