Wrong manual...alarm-questions
I bought myself an 98.5 A4 Avant 2.4 tip-tronic a while ago.
Unfortunately the right manual didnt find my way at the purchase - so i´m stuck with a german manual for a pre-98.5 model. That gives me some problems, because the 98.5-model had some minor changes here and there. I´ve been looking for a manual (for free )) on-line, but havent succeeded. So i guess i need to go get me one the money-way. In the meantime, i am having some problems with the alarm-system: a) Key-less entry works fine, but i cant get the alarm to arm. Normally there should be a LED (or similar) somwhere, that would indicate the alarm/immobilizer is in effect. But i cant find/see any LED anywhere!? Where is it? b) In the pre-98.5´-model there would be a switch in the drivers-side B-panel, that would allow me to switch off the internal sensors for the alarm, if i leave "something/someone alive" in the car. Theres no switch in that place in my car. Where should i look then? c) Shouldnt the horn sound an audible *bleeb/honk* too, when the alarm arms? (The german manual makes me think "what DID i actually do in german-classes back in school!?" ;o)) Any help with the above is greatly appreciated. T.I.A. -- Gio |

I doubt it. > And why would anyone bother de-installing the alarmsystem... > > I mean...why? *s* Is there really noone that can help me on this subject? Was it really an option to buy a 98.5 A4 Avant 2.4 Tip-Tronic WITHOUT alarm installed? I havent managed to get hold of a manual for it yet - but all the others i´ve seen, plus the one i have (pre-98.5), doesnt explain the alarm-system as something that was optional. *sigh* -- Gio |

Immobilizer yes. Alarm: No. Even today it isn't. Just look at the german Audi website. Regards Wolfgang |
