Ferry crossing
Discussion
As Getsis says theres no one aloud on the car deck once the ship is ready to depart I've left the westfield with no hood on and Items left in the car even the autocom head phones hooked over the backs of the seats and never had an issue in the 6 years I took it to Le-Mans as for the Tamora I leave the hood up and lock it.

Take a look in the manual, you should have a dog mode.
From the Cerbera manual (not sure if the Tuscan is the same):
Dog Mode - Locking the doors without arming the alarm.
1. Set window height before leaving the car.
2. Open a door.
3. Press and hold status led button for more than 5 seconds, this will result in the led flashing rapidly to indicate you are in the dog mode.
4. Once the led is flashing rapidly the doors can be shut. They will then be locked. The boot will also lock.
5. To override this mode from outside the car - arm and then disarm the alarm.

I did not know this! Might have to give it a try. Not that I Own a dog and even if I did it would never be let in the Cerbera lol But it still might come in useful one day. From the Cerbera manual (not sure if the Tuscan is the same):

Copied from a topic I started in 2007 ish....sorry don't know how to link to the topic.............
I don't know if this has been posted before, I did a quick search but found nothing, so here is a word of warning for all you intrepid travelers intending to use a cross channel ferry.
We had a brief visit to France last week. Boarded the ferry ok from Dover, went in with the lorries, didn't want to risk the ramps. All ok but when I went to unlock the car (Tuscan).......nothing, no response from the key fob. We were right at the front in the middle & most of the lorries had a job squeezing past.
A crew member from the bridge came down & after I explained what the problem was....couldn't get in the car, he suggested that the ship's radar might have interfered with the immobilizer & shut it down said it had happened before to 'one of those'. Apparently the owner had it fork lifted off the ferry
I had to break in, using the prescribed method, alarm going full blast, put the immobilizer fob into the slot, drove about 400yds, stopped the car, unlocked it from the inside, locked & unlocked it again just to make sure, put the bits back together & off we went.
I'll leave you to guess what we did on the way back!!
Had a great time in France........the Tuscan was...well, you know

Fair enough am I'm being over cautious then
No you're not, when we used to run tours around the EU, flat batteries off the Channel ferries was our first problem. Especially Cerbs, but not just TVRs.Only a 1.5Hr crossing!
TURN THEM OFF! Its not like anyones going to nick it...and the decks are locked too.
