To shut up a siren you can do it real quickly in 2 ways, 1) drop it in a bucket of water, decent alarms like cobra's are 99% water proof but if submerged they will eventually take on water and die, or 2) spray expading foam into the siren, as the physics states if you cant move any air, you wont ...

Ultrasonics should be marked T for transmit and R for receive, in general th only way to dampen the sensitivity is to connect them round the wrong way, and even in the lowest setting there is NO way you should be able to move about in the vehicle without triggering them.

:? I can! Maybe I should ...

Any tips on where to install the alarm unit itself, the siren, the transceiver for the key fob, the ultrasonics, the shock detector, the valet button, the visible LED would be much appreciated.


...just to get you started, the mobile guy who fitted mine installed the two ultrasonics at the top of ...

Where's this green LED then? Can't see one anywhere. Mine's about 18 months old - maybe its one of the old types?

Had a mobile fitter round to do mine, and like you say, it took around 3.5 hours.

Hi - There's a bit here from Allans Vehicle Services that may be useful to you:

Scroll down to the section "Sleeping compartment fabric repair, removal:"

Yep, dunnit! I can't remember having any problems moving it. It comes out like a radio does, after removing the plastic covers on the right and left of the front of the unit. If I remember rightly, there were a couple of plugs on the back that could be removed while you repositioned it and then plug ...

You may find it easiest to run the clock from one of the radio cables. The feed for the radio backup should be permanently live, it'll be nice and close to the clock and easily accessible to connect.

Try unzipping the tent front a little before you lower it. It helps to expel the air, but it also means that there's a slightly less strain when you open it next time.

Hi Ed,

It would be worthwhile checking your fuel (The only other thing I have done is put a bit of fuel in)

You might have picked up some thing from the pump.

Check your receipt for type of fuel.
Haven't a clue if that's the problem, but even if you used the right pump it could be the wrong ...

I know this is a well known scam, but its probably worth drawing it to people's attention again. It could so easily happen to any of us.
