When you find out, will you post it back on here.
Because i have the same problem(if you could call it a problem??) Everywhere i park my T350c the alarm goes off. if someone so much as stares through the windows for more than 30 seconds it goes off, very much to the embarrasment of the viewer,

I guess it is under the central armrest wotsit. That's where the microwave sensor was on my Chimaera and you adjusted that by turning a small screw on the unit itself.

Haven't tried staring at mine yet, but I did set a few off at various dealers just by bending and peering in the window.

OK, someone at work told me my alarm went off when they just got close to the car so I need to adjust the sensitivity too ... anyone got any more info on this? I think I'll ask my dealer to adjust mine at the 1k service in a few weeks time.

It's under the transmission tunnel cover just in front of the gear stick. Often they can be reached without taking the cover off from the front. Once adhjusted properly they are fine.

Mine kept going off when I first got it - people only had to look too close; and if I open the garage door too enthusiastically it goes off as well.

If you can adjust it - what exactly do you do, eg if you have to turn a pot - which way does what?

Thanks in advance.

(this was on my list of issues for the 1st service, but it came back exacly the same)
