edwardoplunkett Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Can some one look at a schematic and tell me if I can disable the interior motion sensors for my 2003 alarm system. I want to be able to lock the car and have the alarm active (blinking red light) with the dog in the car. Is there some secret handshake that will allow mw to do this without unplugging things from an alarm module or ECU? I already know that I can disable the alarm by locking the car twice. I would prefer to also have the alarm be active as well. Thanks in advance Ed Quote
seatkid Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Is there some secret handshake that will allow me to do this without unplugging things from an alarm module or ECU? No.Teach the dog to use the horn or a mobile phone. :( There are connectors at the sensor ends.. Quote

edwardoplunkett Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Posted February 10, 2005 This is great stuff. I'm so glad I found this board!. Untill I get my own schematics of this system, would either of you helpful fellows be willing to post the alarm system schematics for me? Ed Quote
SharanTDICarat Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 according to my hand book for a mk1 if you turn the key twwice to the right it switches off the alarm but the imobiliser still operates. I know it not exactly what you are looking for but it is the only thing I can find.Tam Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Sorry - don't have schematic but it should be possible to disable the interior sensors somehow. Maybe there is a trick to doing it (involving cutting wires with pliers?)Have you asked a dealer (maybe better to ask VW rather than Ford, and by phone rather than in person - maybe even VW UK) ?

edwardoplunkett Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Posted February 10, 2005 Once I have a schematic, I will put a switch between the interior motion sensors and the central locking/alarm ecu so that I can bypass the sensors when necessary. Might get real fancy and use one of the extra switch postions, say under the park distance control switch. Wonder what an OEM switch will cost??? I am amazed at what the stealers :ph34r: (what we call them in the US) get for parts over here. Hopefully we will get more online parts dealers to help get the prices down. Quote

Guest vr6galaxy Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 STEALERS :ph34r: where abouts are you located? Quote
seatkid Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 6 wires to each sensor, with a removeable connector at the sensor end. Wires go to central junction box under drivers side (RHD cars) connector C2 Quote

How did the car get there? A few Mk1's made it over to Canada! and VW sell the Sharan in Mexico, if it is in the states my guess is it's a take it home car from a US serviceman serving in the EU ?
