Re: Rear lights

Use a Faraday pouch widely available on eBay or Amazon. Will solve this problem and protect against key cloning theft.

Alarm Malfunction

Is there a way of disabling the alarm as it has gone off twice for no apparent reason. Cant see it in the manual.

Is this a known bug? I don't think the 12v battery is low.

I seem to recollect reading about it somewhere but the forum wont let me search on Alarm!

Don't forget that the spare key also needs to be protected as well!
