987.2 Car Alarm Tilt Sensor Disable?

[michael.williams1]

I'll be taking the car ferry from Portsmouth to Santander in August. I know Biscay can get quite rough so I was wondering if there is a way of disabling the tilt sensor so the car alarm isn't going off constantly and running the battery down. Does anyone know? I can't find anything obvious in the owners manual ...

quick double press when locking disables "interior monitoring" - whilst I can't see it in the handbook, pretty sure that also disables the tilt sensor.

Strange suggestion! A quick double press of the remote disables the interior sensor and the tilt sensor. It is explained in the handbook but not in the section to do with the key - it's towards the back. After double-pressing, the exterior indicators respond with a long flash.

I don't think it's possible to leave it unlocked, it seems to automatically shut after about a minute if the keys are withdrawn from the ignition. I'll test the double press of the remote before I go.

It only re locks if you don't open a door within a short time of unlocking it.

Do you think the dealer locks it when they work on the car?

Neither this nor my previous 987.2 would randomly lock. As others have said if you unlock and don’t open a door it will relock but I recently had mine sat on the drive unlocked for hours while I was working on it.
