Hi all,
What sort of typical ranges do you get from the key fobs for setting / disabling the alarm. Mine only seems to work if I'm standing right next to the car.
Also has anyone tried setting the alarm / immobiliser when the engine is running - can it be used to cut the engine if the car is being stolen?

Mine only seems to work within about 4 feet of the car, always thought it was a bit crap. Also when I had a flat battery, the RAC chap got me started, then the alarm set it’s self (once running) and went off. But the car kept running.! Which I though was wrong. Apparently it’s designed not to cut the engine once running, for a safety feature (just in case the unit fails whilst your driving – rendering the car dead in a potentially dangerous position). The immobiliser will only stop the car from being started, not once it has started.
