996 c4 car alarm on ferry.. Urgent

[Bebs]

Hi all, currently on an overnight ferry to Denmark. Car alarm keeps going off. Have left car unlocked now, but it rearms itself after a while.. What do I do chaps? Leave key in ignition?
Cheers!

I thought you used key in the door to lock. But have not done it myself so not 100% certain.

[Bebs]

Yes did lock it initially by turn key only. Alarm still went off though and I was called down to car deck.
Have left it unlocked now but recall it locking and arming itself if left unlocked..?

You can unlock, but have to open and close door to prevent it auto-locking and arming.

However, press lock button twice within 3 seconds and it should omit tilt sensor. That should stop the alarm being triggered.

Yup, double clicking the key to lock the car was a great find. (It beeps once to let u know)

On the islay ferry loads of alarms were going off and my 996 c4s was happy

Thank you so much guys, long live PH and it's members!
Double clicked, beep. Just as predicted.

unlock your door then open it the door.

Close door job done.

If you don't open the door it will lock its self.

Thanks for all the input chaps. Had a peaceful night, no further alarm calls after double clicking the fob.
Good to know the car only locks itself again if door is left unopened.
Makes sense of course.
Off to burn rubber now on Scandinavian roads.
