I have a late 2009 (2010MY) Roadster, apparently with High Spec Alarm. I understand this to include both volumetric and tilt sensors? Does this apply to the roadster, as I have no disable button in the end of the dash? Basic testing of the system suggests none of it is working; Lock and leave windows open, wait for 5 mins then lean inside\wave arms around does not trigger it. Whilst set, use manual key to open or jacking it up doesn't trigger it either. After removing the module, the expected message appears on the display. The module is dated late 2009 so I assumed the battery\PCB could be at fault. I have disassembled the module and tested the internal battery with a load (Bulb) and all appears well. Vehicle battery is dated 2018.

Edit:The Sounder Module contains an ADXL213 Tilt sensor, so definately capable of sensing tilt\movement).

So, a couple of questions relating to above if I may;

Do any of the Foxwell Diag units provide any meaningful data relating to the alarm system?
Is a new module likely to make any difference?
Is it possible that the alarm has been disabled via AMDS or similar?

Thanks.
