Hey all,

Last week my alarm decided to crack the sads with me. What happened was this.

With the Turbo Timer still counting down I arrived at work, closed the doors, got something out of the boot, closed it. Walked away from the car and went to arm it. The locking alert sound went but then it was followed by a second chirp. I went back to the car to see what was up. Turns out that I didnt close the drivers door properly, it was slightly ajar.

Problem is ever since, I cant lock and arm the car with the remote or have the motion sensor activate. The auto imobiliser still comes on after 30 seconds of shut down.

I can:

*Press the button on the remote, the light works

*lock the car with the original factory key (central locking)

*Disarm the car with the 4-digit override pin and start it

However I cannot:

*use the M80 remote to lock / unlock the doors

*use the M80 remote to arm the motion sensor

*use the M80 to disarm the motion sensor and imobiliser

Any ideas? It sure sucks atm having to do the 4-digit override with the alarm beeping every time I need to go somewhere. I dont feel comfortable knowing the motion sensor isnt working when I leave my car unlocked either. :domokun:

I have the same alarm.... although when that happens.. I just unlock it with the remote.... so unarmed... shut the door properly and rearm!

Sometimes I have buggered it up/confused it or something - so basically I had to unarm...shut the car down... turn the key to reds and turn off to reset the TT etc... and then lock again..

When you go to arm the car now... does it sound any warning signals such as a door is still open etc??? Possibly one of the sensors that determines that something is open are broken??? What happens if you shut the TT down straight away and try to arm? Does the alarm siren go off?? It should if it is still reading that a door is open and it isn't in the delayed TT mode

When I try to arm the car, it doesnt make any sound or signal.......doesnt matter if I try leave it running or off.

so have you lost the remote control side of it or does taht still work?

if so I'll send you the book (email pls) and you can rekey both remotes.

Cheers for the book mate, I managed to get the alarm into learning mode and tried to rekey the remote but still nothing.

Silly question but the batteries tend to die instantly in my M80... have you tried replacing them? Even though there will still be the LED flashing on the remote, there isn't enough power to transmit the signal....

All your problems you described also happen when the remote batteries need replacing, hence why I always have a spare battery on me!

Even though there will still be the LED flashing on the remote, there isn't enough power to transmit the signal....

Bingo! How easy is that.

I trusted the remote because the LED still flashed, next time I shouldnt assume :( . Spare remote works fine.

Cheers msnismo :(

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
