Car alarms going off when sensing key card

[Iroko1]

Has anyone experience that on occasion when the car sensing the key card and the lights comes on the alarm sounds off as well, is it just mine or anyone has experience this

[jpcavanagh]

yes I get the same. The car is going back to SMC tomorrow for them to try and fix it.

My SMC dealer fixed this problem. He said it was related to "wire routing and the frequency of a light bulb affecting the volumetric sensor". Whatever that means, the problem has now gone away. I suggest you consider returning your car to the dealer for modification.

Thanks I'll be contacting my dealer next week,did they rectified the fault while you wait?

Sounds like the power wire feeding the interia light ( that comes on with the remote press) is interfering with the internal motion detector the alarm uses.

The dealer took the car first thing Thu, give me a loaner megane etech(!) and I picked mine up the next day

Thanks for the heads up I've booked the car in but my earliest appointment at my local Motovogue is the 23rd of march with a courtesy car that's about two months away, absolutely shocking long time to wait if you want a courtesy car
