T6.1 Alarm Sensor disabling for sleeping / leaving dogs / windows ajar [thread merge]
Not on mine. It just locks the doors and doesn’t activate the security systems. When I open the door from the inside, it doesn’t relock.
if you’re worried about it, try it, but just keep your key in your pocket when you do it! That way you’ll know.
Following on from this. Has anyone figured out how to install a 'Lock' (and 'Unlock) button in the rear of the T6.1?
There's a thread about doing this on the T6;

But I guess the T6.1 is different, anyone know?

Locking doors from the back of the van. ~ Stop me before I do something silly
Hi All Soooo. I have a long weekend and plan to do some bits and bobs on the van to make it more of a camper. One of them is to have a go at adding a secondary central locking lock/unlock buttons for the back of the van. Plan is to tap in to the switch on the driver door and run a switch in...

T6.1 doesn't seem to use resistors like T6 so you should be able to wire in a secondary lock/unlock SPDT momentary rocker switch (or 2x mom buttons) off the connector for the drivers door lock switch.Following on from this.

I tested this by bridging the connector manually with a staple.
Lock:
Unlock:
As above use the driver door switch to lock without activating the alarm or deadlocks. You can also temporarily disable the interior monitoring in the vehicle settings on the nav screen or add a favorite button on the home screen for more convenience (no pillar button like T6).

Interesting, thanks for that, it raises the following questions;
Is the common pin 0V, 12V or something else?
Can the lock/unlock wires be accessed under the dash for connecting a second set of buttons?
What are the wire colours/stripes ? (looks like 3 whites and a brown here)?

Ordering below doesn't correspond with connector pin ordering (shown as /n):
+12V, GND, LED Signal, Lock/Unlock Signal
Yes the signal wires can also be accessed on the 73-pin connector for the BCM (J519).

This shows only one button, and two lights, I thought your staple simulated two buttons?
Yeah it's a bit weird how they drew the diagram as it should be a rocker.
I think it's because PIN4 / SIG is either grounded for lock or +12V for unlock.
What I've found today is;
SIG to 0V - Unlock
SIG to 0V via 180ohm resistor - Lock
SIG to 12V did nothing in my van, so I'm not sure why this worked for you?
The inside of the switch looks like this;

I need a button in the rear of the van to lock the doors, without arming the alarm, as many seem to have fitted on the T6. Credit to @Willoughby for figuring this out on the T6 here; https://www.t6forum.com/threads/locking-doors-from-the-back-of-the-van-stop-me-before-i-do-something-silly.3939/...
I know it's a silly question, but specifically how do you add a button to disable the interior monitoring to the Nav Screen?
If you are leaving the van simply press the fob twice when you lock it.
if you are not leaving the van use the lock buttons by the mirror switch.
simples!
