Derbs,

To test motion sensors

Open any window wide open and tape a piece of newspaper in its place. Set alarm and wait for it to settle/arm itself. Punch through newspaper with fist. This will simulate the window being broken and affect the air pressure inside the car, thus triggering the montion sensors. Alternately you could just stick your arm in through the open window and wave it around like a madman. This technique however doesn't work on my Vectra as the motion sensors aren't that sensitive, which is why I use the newspaper method.


To test Door/boot/bonnet sensors

leave a door slightly ajar, making sure the interior light has gone off. Set alarm, and open door. Repeat for the other doors, boot, and bonnet.
