I have the above alarm fitted to my mx5 It worked fine for 3 years. On Saturday it simply went dead .could no be armed or open the doors. Changed and reset both fob batteries ..no luck. As a final resort I have removed the alarm box and by passed the immobiliser to start thecar

HAs anyone any experience with this alarm .Am I looking at a new main unit?

Thanks

You said it could not be armed or disarmed....did you

try using the key to open the door and see if the alarm

goes off? Did you try checking any of the fuses...maybe

one is blown. Has anything else stopped working in your

car?

does it have a disable switch....or maybe you put it in

valet mode by mistake?
