just had a lady from across the road knock on to ask if my key fob was working to unlock the doors etc. which it isnt! its only affecting a small area of our street, does anyone have any ideas? im guessing someone has gotten some radio equipment of some kind? the lady was saying "you cant be too carefull these days what with all the hacking and terrorists..." !!!! crazy lady lol

There was a story about this same thing on the news a while ago buddy, I can't remember where it was, but they had the same problem, and I am sure it was something to do with some new lampost the council had put in, don't quote me on the lapost, byt it was something that they had installed.

Not sure why but sounds like you`ve been fobbed off :)

:rofl::rofl:

 

some ones got a garage door opener on the car some use them as a jammer

Not sure why but sounds like you`ve been fobbed off :)

 

:lol::lol::lol:

I haven't the remotest idea what might be causing it?!

I bet its just a blip:lol:

Hope you told her she's being silly and not to be alarmed :surrender::lol:

would need something to be working on the same frequency or a similar one to effect it i think, and don't they all work of different ones?

Have the same problem when I collect parts from one of our suppliers, they have confirmed that most car alarms will not arm when parked in their carpark, across the road is a haulage company and it has a huge mast on the roof for communicating with their drivers in cab systems got to be connected me thinks, also some years ago I used to visit a garden centre close to the Sutton Coldfield TV Antenna and the same thing happened there, its all houses there now, what a mare if you cannot arm you car on your own drive!

just lock it with the key, any decent alarm will arm itself after a few minutes :)

my dad's bmw (old e30 with aftermarket alarm/immobileser) will never ever start in morrisons car park!! it wont "de-mobilse" (if thats such a word) always starts in tescos so thats where he shops now! lol
