Hi all...

I've posted this around and have yet to get an answer.... Perhaps those here are better versed? We'll see..

How do I ARM my security system.. I mean so that if someone just opens an unlocked door without using the FOB to disarm/unlock, the horn starts beeping?!?!

I'd appreciate it..

 

You can't. The doors must be locked and that arms the system.

 

Huh??
Locking the doors?
So.... It's impossible to arm if doors aren't locked??

 

if you were inside the car and physically unlocked the door (without pushing the unlock button) it *could* keep the system armed...

 

Ahhhh...

Now, I also noticed a "auto lock" timed option in the settings?

But I haven't noticed it working (auto locking the doors) regardless of what I set the timer to?!

Any input.?

 

Locking your doors arms the system. If the doors are opened without using the key or the fob (i.e. smashing the window and unlocking the door from the inside) the alarm sounds.

 

Thank you very much...I can't believe the lack of responses to this

Anyway, for argument sake; if Im sitting IN my car, lock the doors after removing the key from the ignition, wait for the security LED to indicate "armed" (as opposed to pre-arming)... and then open the door with the inside handle, the alarm [horn] will sound?

I'm just getting in after a 14 hour stint, or I'd go out to the garage right now

Thanks in advance people

 

Yep, that's exactly what will happen.

 

Yep... That's what happened..

I've had a high end security system on the last three vehicles I've owned.. It's gonna take a little getting used to... that this car, which has options I've never even heard of (heated steering wheel) has such a bare bones security system that, eh... Only screams when a door opens?!?
But then again, for all intentioned purposes, that's the main trigger for any alarm.. Just thinking out loud...

 

Yep, I agree. Stock security system didn't do me much good when they broke in and ripped out my kenwood navigation. They busted the lock, and I guess fooled the mechanism into thinking the key was in, opened the door and helped themselves. When I got to the car, the front windows were down and entire center console was gone. Guess it was my fault for installing the entertainment system before an aftermarket alarm with a shock sensor

I guess that's just standard practice for most OEM systems. Always wondered why some manufacturers left out something as small as a shock sensor. Cost? False alarm complaints? I don't know

 

until you open the door. then again im not sure if that year nissan does...but i do know that just unlocking an armed factory alarm as you mentioned sets factory alarms off in certain makes.


yeah you may have to wait up to 30 seconds but yeah. but as i said above...i dont remember but i do know some cars alarms go off just by unlocking the door lock replicating a "theft"



ouch that sucks. some factory alarms do come with a shock sensor nowadays from what i've heard...and ive seen the older "factory but aftermarket" alarms...factory 97 honda remote for instance with an automate alarm or something along the lines of that with t-taps and a mess under the dash.

 

Dang

Yeah, when I had my '95, first 'mod' I did was add a 2-stage shock sensor to the stock security system. Was pretty easy IIRC. That + the air horn served me pretty well. Never bothered to try it when I had the 6th gen, was worried I would mess something up

 

yeah theres writeups here how to add a shock sensor to stock in a 4th gen. when i was in my honda days years ago i installed a dei alarm w 2 way remote, shock sensor, i had air horns and a glass break sensor. kinda crazy. now that im not a honda owner im not worried about my car getting stolen/broken into every 30 seconds. 2 way alarm/remote start is a-ok with the siren it came with for me.
