Alarm Problem

Well, it finally gave up the ghost, since I've had the Chimaera the alarm has been more and more hit and miss whether it would unlock the car or not, until it just got unusable and therefore so was the car.

So I gave Carl Baker a call at Car & Bike Installations Ltd. We came to the decision that the best way to solve the problem was to send the alarm unit down to Carl and for him to code two new fobs to it, seen as the alarm couldn't be put in to "program a new fob" mode with the dodgy fob I had.

First I needed to remove the alarm unit, this involved lifting the dash on the left hand side, so I removed the two screws that hold the "glove compartment" under the dash and removing the two nuts and washers that hold that side of the dash on.

Now to remove the unit; I propped up the dash with a spanner so I get to the alarm unit, easily identified by the red M99T sticker on it, just a matter of carefully removing the connections from the back: the two white blocks locked by clips and the three smaller connectors below them.


So the unit got sent off to Carl and a couple of days later I got it back :)

Refitted it and all is well again! Two new shiny fobs and a car I can use again!
