My wife and I both have Land Rovers she has the Freelander 2 and always double presses the lock on the key fob.....so is this disarming the internal alarm?
I pickup my new Defender 17th march (Double cab) again, just sold my td5 dc hope I'm as happy with the TDCi

With the F2, the first 'lock' puts perimetric on, the second 'lock' puts volumetric on too. You should always lock twice with the F2. When you lock it the second time, you should hear a second "thunk" a bit like a deadlock activating.

Where are the volumetrics sensors

There are three ways to lock a vehicle (such as a Defender) with a 10AS, central locking, and both perimetric and volumetric sensors, namely:-

1) Lock with plip - immobiliser and alarm are set, and both the perimetric and volumetric sensors are operative. Opening a door etc, or any movement in the car will set off the alarm.

2) Lock door with key - immobiliser is set, alarm is not set, neither the perimetric nor volumetric sensors are operational. Opening a door etc, movement in the car, breaking a window etc will not set off the alarm. This is the method LR recommend if pets or people are to be left in the car.

3) Lock with plip before shutting driver's door, then shut door after 'mislock' beep - immobiliser is set, and the alarm is set with perimetric detection only since the mislock condition disables the volumetric sensor. Opening a door will set of the alarm, but movement in the car will not. Ideal for pets (and possibly children) since the alarm won't sound unless a door is opened.

It is important to remember that it you lock a Defender with the key, the alarm is not set at all.

Edit - OOPS just posted this in the wrong thread! I'd opened this old one to check some info before posting elsewhere and posted here by mistake.

The "Freelander Technique" does not work on a Defender!

Thanks for posting, blackwolf. We slept in the car a month or so ago and couldn't work out how to disable the internal alarm, ended up wrapping the sensor in a rag so we could get some sleep.

Could have done with your post back then.

excuse me for (

) going off-topic ...

you say you have two dogs in the car.
Why would you need the vehicle´s alarm then ?

joking aside - a policeman told us decades ago that whatever human built can be touched by humans. A dog is not acting "predictably" by thieves, so the dog might be more deterrent than Lucas.

Bump, because this is an extremely useful tip -- although having the alarm go off scares our dog so using the lock-with-a-door-open-to-disable-volumetrics trick is a bit awkward. 2009 110 XS Station Wagon
