Q for clifford G5 + smartwindows owners...

Postby wyll_2k on Thu Apr 06, 2006 2:51 pm

I have a Clifford G5 alarm with smartwindows and as the weather's getting decent wanted to use the vent option of smart windows. But it keeps on setting off the alarm after a few seconds - what am i doing wrong?

I thought the idea was u could vent the car and still have the alarm armed :-?

PS - It also has ultrasonics and a proximity sensor if that matters

i asked the guy who fitted it and he never got bk to me :rolleyes:

I read in the manual before and it looked like it was supposed to bypass the sensors when venting anyway :-S

But I tried arming, then sensor disable, then vent, and it didn't go off this time. cheers :D

sorry fella, battery went dead the other night

was going to suggest interior sensitivity, at the end of the day it is a moving part, and the relays might be enough to have caused it

just 'fiddle' again!

no worries, an auto electrician will be looking at it thursday so whatever it is it'll be sorted once and for all :wink:

I did the sensor disable before venting and it worked fine anyway

Just check that the interface cable between the smartwindows module & Alarm brain is plugged in as this is the communication link between the 2 units.
Worth a try as it might not need to go to a sparky!
