Question for the Volvo experts on PH. I recently imported a 2016 XC90 from Germany and am curious to find out if the car standard comes with a factory alarm in Germany. It is a T5 inscription model.

Is a Volvo alarm fitted or is it only the factory immobiliser?
And if it does not come with an alarm are the wiring and all the sensors pre-installed?
I have been in touch with my local Volvo dealer, they tell me the car looks to be fitted with the alarm, it also say on the factory sheet (which they are not allowed to share with me unfortunately) a level sensor which is part of the alarm triggering it when being towed.

Reason i am doubtful is that the electric tailgate does not have the 2 push buttons for closing. Only one that closes it, one for closing and setting the alarm is missing.

If anyone knows, keen to learn more and see what I can do to improve the security of this lovely automobile.

Thanks

I would be amazed if it hasn't got the standard alarm. I'd have thought the easy way would be to lock it with the window open - let the alarm arm itself and then reach in and open the door from the inside. That should set it off.
