If you are unfortunately enough to have your windows smashed or the car jacket up nobody will know any better will they

 

That's why I have insurance..

It's just a low valued car,,,,,

 

The sounder is 50 quid used or something, and thiefs are deterred with noise and drama but if you want to rely upon insurance fine, just don't tell them you removed the alarm itself and mine isn't low valued I don't know what you are driving but seems bizarre to have such a couldn't give an **** opinion

 

Hilarious...

no one listens to alarms.

They go off every time the wind blows!!

They are ALL low valued..

No Bugatti prices for Xks..

 

You seem to have as little interest in your Jag as if it's a wheelbarrow, delightful. My Jag is one of 200 XKR-S so it's a bit more valuable than your alarm less fair, the market is bad for everything and everyone at the moment and some people can't afford to turn up the heating just saying they are worthless isn't giving a true reflection of things - the Aston Martin DB11 sold for 40K or something recently I'm sure that owner was wishing he just chucked out the alarm of his worthless newish heap.

 

I read that particular component was not installed in USA sold Jaguars. Please post an image of it as I have looked at my 2008 and do not see one.

See post #8 above. I’ve never looked for it, and it only seems to be UK based folks that have an issue with it. So you could be right, and we don’t have it.

 

There's an image in the thread, you can scroll back a bit

 

Yes it's possible it's a UK thing. My previous Subaru had an alarm but it was a retrofit by Subaru UK, in other words the Subaru was made in Japan to UK spec and the bods in England bodged in an alarm to meet the Thatcham requirements, it's probably exactly the same with the Jag

 

I miss the old days when thieves were deterred by car alarms... I think those days ended around the time when folks started fitting after-market alarms that played full symphonies when even a stiff breeze blew too hard against their parked car.

 

That’s the sensitivity of the intrusion sensors - nothing to do with aftermarket - the Subaru I had you could change the sensitivity with a keypad, I should think there is some way to alter it on the Jag too. never realised Jags were so worthless – we may as well just leave the keys inside it and the doors open

 

or live in an area where one doesn't have to be so tuned to locking things up...

 

Fortunately I dont live in Brum, London, Bradford, Manchester or such places but I like the fact that the alarm actually works when it needs to do so
