2014 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Keswick Green

immobilizer and alarm

hi y'all
Was wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to switch the alarm sound off while maintaining the immobilizer on, on a 2014 puma.
What I'm tiring to achieve is not having my alarm sounding and waking up the whole neighbourhood, while still retaining the anti theft-ness of the system.
cheers

but why do it , is alarm going off at night ?

I don't have central locking.
The alarm and immobilizer are switched on using a key fob.
The problem is indeed the alarm going off at night.
Its not doing it now but I have had a previous vehicle vandalized because the alarm was going off and I would like to avoid that.
And anyway in a city for security reasons nobody pays any attention to a car alarm going off, its just annoying.
Also it scares the life out of me every time i forget to switch the damn thing off and open the door.

unless its not the same as uk spec ,immobilizer should come automatic on after 30secs after ign turned off ,
does the red light start flashing after 30 secs after turning ign off ?

yes the red light under the rev counter comes on.

does this mean the immobilizer is on.

I don't need to switch anything off when the red light is flashing to start the car. Just put the key in the ignition and start.

the fob makes the indicator lights flash 3 times when i press the lock button and once when i press the unlock.

yes that means immobilizer is on , you don't have to turn it off as the fob has a transponder chip in it so when you put ign key in and turn on ign the chip sends a signal to turn immobilizer off automatic

so just lock with key and don't touch the fob and alarm should be off .
and unlock with key then chip will turn off immobilizer off to start ,you don't have to touch the fob
