The windows weren't open...
Presumably the security issue has something to do with causing the windows to open from outside the locked vehicle...?
Of course that doesn't mean they weren't opened, just that when we found the vehicle they were closed.
If the intention was to steal the vehicle initially and it was raining, then it's possible they were opened and then closed afterward...
I'm just damn confused, anyway. T'other half swears blind it was locked and the doors were checked when it was left the previous night, so I have no idea what the hell happened. Planning to go and see the dealer and get the car checked tomorrow, anyway. If anything comes up I'll post the info!
Best thing to do is to delock car & relocate fuse 38 (will rule out "vunerable" security issue).
Then just keep an eye out in case they return. To be honest mate, leave your keys in an accessible place downstairs, I know it sounds bad, but will save you from a confrontation if they break into your house (not meaning to put the $hits up you here, just friendly advice).
Beef up your home security (extra door locks, CCTV) & hope it was just a one off

delock it , it costs about £10 , from audi/vw/seat , relockating cost pennies ,
and i would not leave them accesible, keep them close by , if they came up stairs smash them up with a bat ,
get some security on your home/ drive , flood light etc
you could get those pop up pillar/barrier for added ,

If the car was locked correctly (with deadlocks) then if the windows were open they should not have been able to get in and unlock the doors. So on the assumption deadlocks were enabled the fact the doors were unlocked indicates it was not the 'security issue'.
On this subject, check with the other half how they lock the car. - i say this as many people had been pressing lock twice thinking this set deadlocks, when in fact pressing lock twice disables deadlocks.
a very thin idea but rain didnt get somewhere it shouldnt and shorted the lock? hard to accept that somebody happened to be checking the doors on that very night tho..
have you contacted the police? you may not be the only one if they have some gizmo for opening doors. it may put your mind at rest if yours wasnt singled out.
all window rubber undisturbed?

I'd only get paranoid if it happens again..........otherwise chalk this one incident up to human error.
Hope Holders can help, although I wouldn't hold my breath
alarms are def worth the assurance,
i didnt know about locking twice deactivated the deadlocks,, thought it activated , then someone said it de activated the interior sensors???

It removes the deadlocks. I only found this out as on my old car, pressing twice activated the deadlocks - so much for industry standard......
If you want to deactivate the interior sensors, press the button on the pillar to the right of the drivers seat
If you want to deactivate the interior sensors, press the button on the pillar to the right of the drivers seat
it makes sense to me.
why the hell would you make a single press a less secure option?
if 99% of the time you want it secure then it makes perfect sense for this to be 1 press. If nothing else people are lazy and will get tired of pressing it twice.
All the alarms ive had, factory fit and after market have required 1 press for all parts of the security to be used (default) with extra actions to de-active parts of the system.

Faulty Drivers door lock
Hi paul,
I posted a thread aboutmy windows going down and the car unlocking on it's own... it turned out to be a fault with the drivers door lock barrel and once replaced has been fine ever since.
The reason behind it is that it was stuck internally in the unlock possition and after a certain time would unlock itself....
Might be worth checking out, think it cost about £150 at seat though!!

i eat my words , my bro has a bmw with a toad ai606 and someone managed to get in the car without damage or set alarm off , pinch his pioneer dvd flip screen
and then lock the car again ???
must have them zapper things
I have had a play with this button but how do you know if the sensors are switched on or off?
goog question. you would think something would flash different, like the little red led on thr door card or something. i never know if its working or not .
Probably just made a spare key of your car...
Where you given the master spare key of your car ?
Its just so strange..... any possibility someone may have gon in your home and opened the car , you know... deep sleep.. early hours of the morning....
No point in upgrading your car security if your keys are available...

It's weird. I tested the alarm the other day, locked the car with the remote and left the door open and it went off, but I am not sure if a sensor in the door trigured it or a motion sensor so I haven't a clue if that little button turned the sensors on or off.
