Disabling the alarm?

[XRNewey]

I need to fit a couple of electrical harnesses to the battery on my Gen 2, which has a factory fitted alarm. Can I disable it so that the siren doesn't sound whilst I fit them? The handbook isn't clear (to me)  TIA

There is probably an option in your setup menu to disable the alarm arming.

Its all in the manual. You can turn the alarm off in the setting / setup menu

Yes, many thanks for that. I just tried it and it does indeed prevent it sounding when the battery is disconnected. I had seen that in the manual, but mistakenly assumed that even with 'automatically arm with ignition switch-off' that the the thing would alert if the battery was disconnected (surely?) Clearly not!

Alarm has its own battery as you have no doubt found. Had an earlier G1 with an alarm, it was a pain. Not had one since.
