De-Locking

[Trim]

Thinking about De-Locking my Polo Sport and was wondering what would happen if the remote failed. I know I could go through the boot but as soon as it’s opened the alarm goes off.

Is there a way to de-activate the alarm and release the dead lock?

The alarm should not go off if you open with the key, many a time I have open my boot with the key and the alarm has not gone off. Just keep an eye on the battery

If you unlock the boot the alarm will de-activate like normal won't it

i've never opened my car via the boot key, but if i unlock the car fully, and only open theboot my alarm goes off as the car self locks. (if that what you mean?)

i had my 6n totaly de-locked, just keep as eye on the battery of the car AND the fob. it's a good mod as it's also safer

Tested it today and the alarm goes off as soon as I open the boot (without de-activating the alarm from the fob).

Does anyone know what would happen if I un-locked the boot and climbed through into the car and tried to start the engine? I want to try it but I think I'll get some funny looks if I do it outside my accommodation lol. I mite try it when I go home for Christmas though.

I really want to do this mod but I don't want to get caught out with one of the batteries dying as I spend a lot of time away from home.

is it a standard alarm or after market one?

Standard Factory Alarm.

If you unlock the boot, and climb in without deactivating it, it will always go off

Now I’m back at home for the Xmas I decide to see what happened if I went go through the boot.

Well, I opened the boot (alarm started to go off), claimed through and tried to start the engine…

Bingo the engine started, the alarm stopped and the deadlock was released.

De-locking is now under way…
