HI all,

My M35 has what i thought was an aftermarket alarm though appears to be a factory option. (it looks like attached pic(from catalog)).

My question is it seems to be too sensitive as i cant even leave my windows down an inch when i park without traffic setting it off.

Anyone know if there is an adjustment or not? (generally a screw or something)..

Appreciate your help

rip it out. they false if you leave the window cracked a hair. been there several times. to make matters worse they are put in with sctochlocks and they WILL fk up and strand you.

its a dealer fitted item. I have removed hundreds of them.

drop the drivers side dash and unplug them. there will be an oval module that will have a red & white of set 2 pin plugs . pull those out.

I would say pull the lot but then you will probably lose the folding mirror thing that everyone seems to like.

thanks for the info! will attempt to wrap them up first. though will remove if i have too.. Chris i know your the AV man when it comes to stagea's so i can also ask if you know how to remove this aftermarket lcd mount? (attached) apparently another factory aftermarket job (carrozeria)

i simply want to try and remove that metal plate at the front so i can prepare to mount my android tablet.. (though i think that metal plate is actually what holds the whole thing in place.. though i could be wrong..

actually i was hoping i could use it for the android tablet.. though i wanted to remove that vertical metal strip in the middle of it.. though from what i can feel around it seems thats what actually mounts the mount.. i can feel 2 nuts on the inside of the plastic..

So i think ultimately ill use some velcro.. so i can easily remove the tablet when i want too.. though most of the time it will be a permanent fixture

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
