Found some links to official HMASERVICE diagrams giving elementary diagnostics to help determine the problem if your alarm is playing the fool...

Note that these are very "noddy" but may be useful to some members


The pictures don't show up very well with our club theme, but a clearer image will show if you click the diagram



(1) Alarm does not work but hazard lamps flash




(2) When bonnet is opened with system armed, alarm does not trigger




(3) When door is opened, alarm does not trigger (but if tailgate and hood is opened, alarm does work)




(4) When tailgate is opened with system armed, alarm does not trigger




(5) When car is locked using the remote, central door lock function works but hazard lamps don't flash




(6) Central door lock function works using key, but keyless entry system does not

I didnt even know mine has an alarm, How do i test it? if thats not too much of a stupid question,
I have opened the car from inside before while it was locked ie window down and nothing happened?
and ive locked the car with the bonet open ???
I did notice some sort of trigger switch in the engine bay , thought it was jst to tell me on the screen that bonets up. lol

yeah...i seem to have noticed the same thing as well, my hazards have never flashed one minute after I lock the car and I have never gotten the alarm to trigger before..is this diagram only for those that get the upgrade alarm or for all i30s? maybe I might have to check it in next time i get a service done..

you can test the burglar alarm by locking first the car using the remote key, then after 30 sec. you unlock the car manually then open the door.. the burglar should alarm when you open the door..

I would guarantee that opening the door would alarm the burglar
Get out of my car you tea-leaf you

Sorry, you'll get used to my sense of humour..............or perhaps not

Unlock the car with the remote. Get in and shut the door, then lock the car with the remote.

DO NOT put the key in the ignition, just pull the bonnet release, the alarm will sound. To stop it press the unlock on the remote. Remember to shut the bonnet 

If you get locked in then climb into the back and lower one of the rear seats so that you can remove the plastic cover over the emergency release pull at the bottom centre of the hatch
