If Carslberg made Honda dealerships they would employ the most knowledgeable people from civinfo and it would probably be the best dealership in the world

Your right Lee,I thought that too, cos i have read the manual last night and it doesn't mention it.
All garages are the same i hate them but we have no option but to use them.

Mine's now working again, but not sure for how long.

A very short-term fix. Working again yesterday, gone again today.

Visit number 4 beckons on Monday!

I read this thread with some horror on Saturday night, and swiftly remembered it when I accidentally activated my alarm this afternoon with my new pressure washer.

At least I know it works now anyway!

Rich 11 · 29th July 2008, 14:49

Visit No 4 complete , new system control box in, fingers crossed !!! Thank God I had the Tracker fitted !!

Before I check mine what does the Type-s ( non GT model) have in terms of alarm. More to the point how does it differ from the Type-s GT if at all. Mines is a March 07 model btw.

I have noticed it lock itself from time to time if i have not entered soon after pressing unlock door button but cant find out exactly when it will do this and under what circumstances.

This is ubsolutely normal. If you unlock it and within 30 seconds you don't enter into the car then automatically locks itself

This is the normal behavior, it locks automatically if you don't open any of the doors. I think after 30 seconds ...

Rich 11 · 30th July 2008, 12:30

correct !! its a std part of Cat 1 alarms

I didn't think (though I am probably wrong

) that a non GT type S had a Cat 1 alarm. I thought they just had the perimiter alarm like the SE and Sport 5dr models.

dave525 · 30th July 2008, 13:13

Type S has a perimeter alarm only - Type S GT has Cat 1 perimeter & interior alarm

Rich 11 · 6th August 2008, 08:18

Well mine looks sorted now , keep trying it on a regular basis if they replaced yours recently it couild be with the old type control box and may fail again !

I'm up to day nine now with a working alarm.

Third fix seems to have done the trick - it took them less than a minute, don't know what they did.

Rich 11 · 6th August 2008, 19:05

Its probably the new NEW control box

Otto · 6th August 2008, 19:41

I know mine works: I left my girlfriend in the car when I popped in a shop and accidentally (force of habit) locked the car. When I came out I wondered why the alarm was going off then realised what I'd done. She wasn't happy - oops

Btw it's an 07 type s gt
