How do I Disable my alarm for ferry journey?

[John Drake]

How do I disable the alarm for going on a ferry journey and then re-enable when off the ferry?
Many thanks in advance

Push lock button to lock, push lock button again after a couple of seconds to disable sensors.
Unlock resets everything

I always use the key in driver's door to lock when on a ferry. Lots of information here Help with alarm going off when we’re inside. Is there a way to disable permanently ?

May I suggest that queries are sometimes specific to a particular model T What ever? That solution may and do on occasion vary depending on T6 or T6.1 so what may work for one might not work for the other and so on and I seem to recall that applies to disarming the alarm for ferries dogs and so on. So it is helpful when queering things to give some details of vehicle and even model sometimes makes answering easier and more specific

Quite a few threads on this matter.

Hi all,

Couple of questions:

1) Is it possible to disable the alarm if locking from the inside?
2) If we lock the van with the pop top up, is the alarm likely to go off?

Appreciate any advice.

Cheers

How can the alarm be disabled on a car ferry and still keep the car locked when expected to leave the vehicle unatended?
