UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

hey guys, im new to all this. firs time driver and recently bought a VW polo MKV.
it had an alarm upgrade fitted by the previous owner and the only thing he told me about it was which one of the 2 buttons armed the device. and even that was vague.
i had a problem not so long ago with the alarm, it became slow and less responsive. then it just stopped working altogether. the fobs are fine and i know its the alam itself because the over ride key no longer does anything either when inserted into the slot.
i was thinkin it could be the fuse. but today i found a small move box that looked sort of like a PC port for connecting to a different device.
this was below the cd player and the air con controls in the ash tray. i pulled out the tray and behind this was a small square hole where the move box was sitting.

anyway i basically yanked it about a bit and the alarm started working again! i got out locked the doors and armed the alarm, then i opened the door to make sure the alarm went off and it just did nothing and resorted back to its previous state.
does anyone have any ideas of what i can do?!
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

I want ur interior

Back on Topic - Go to a local audio centre and ask them, they usually deal in these type of things. Its prob a loose wire or somin. If that doesnt work try and phone the person you bought it off to see if he knows better.

ive got the same alarm. exact!! not sure how i can help mate. aint got a clue.

but do your windows go up when alarming the car. mines stay as they are. would be kinda nice if they rolled up when the alarm was turned on.

do yours?? or should i say USED TO?

lol sori 2 hear you are misfortunate enough to have th sme alarm. its crap.
anyways, i dot have central locking or electric widows lol.
my alarm works again now though, once i past my test and started driving it workd again.
weid ay!

i had the same alarm on my polo and i had no problems with it at all!!
i'd say if it startsd to muck about again, then take it to the vw dealer that fitted it if thasts possible!!
