It suggests a certain familiarity with the alarm system... Don't get no respect! Coupe Fiat 1994-2000 - an owner's guide <-- clicky!

I alarmed an Alfa 145 with the same central locking setup and if I remember right an earth pulse will trigger the locks to lock or unlock depending which wire you get. I think they are pink and grey. He's going through just where that wire enters the dooor. He possibly snagged the wire on a sharp edge and unlocked it.
