I'm having a problem with the meta alarm on the coupe I've just purchased. I think that I've accidentally overridden it using the key instead of the fob. Both fobs worked at first (i.e. flashed the indicators and appeared to arm it albeit I've never heard the alarm go off), but now appear to have stopped doing anything. I've changed batteries etc. but to no avail.
The red LED light on the dash (3rd button on the right of the centre console) is now on permanently (I'm almost sure that it wasn't before, but not 100%).

I've tried various combinations of locking unlocking etc.

Its not a major problem as the alarm isn't going off and car starts fine etc - its just I'm paranoid that its less secure and someones going to pinch my beautiful coupe that after only 1 week I'm in love with.

Not sure if there is any way to reset - maybe take out the fuse. Any suggestions gratefuly received.

Your alarm system doesn't immobilise your car mate, it's the code in the Key that allows it to start so don't worry too much about the car being driven off.

I had this problem with my car and in the end I gave up trying to fix it and just spent 300 quid on a toad Alarm/Immobiliser.

Sorry I can't help

Thanks Tom. After scouring the forum I think this might be the best bet. Reassuring that at least its immobilised to some extent. Thanks for your help.

The meta alarm, like all alarms is next to useless. The Fiat imobiliser system is on the other hand very good.

What does an alarm do anyway other than annoy neighbours and tell you it was too late!

Just get rid of the siren

What does an alarm do anyway?
Bockers I no the answer to this
Mmm let me think,
works central locking, controls window motion at the touch of a button, opens boot, doors, operates actuators, starts car, give you an option of controlling your cars functions from right round the world via gps, can track your car, open your garage doors and close them takes pictures and videos of inside your car and surrounding areas, lets you track it via your pc or mobile, also upgrades your standard fiat cat 2 immobilizer to a cat 1 money off insurance, oh yea and offers additional security
just to name but a few,
am I right am I right lol

and cause noise pollution. and wake me up at 3 am 4 nights in a row (not my alarm I add, which is thankfully silent).

IMHO they are just useless, if someone wants something they can see in your car they will take it, alarm or no alarm.

As for the other non noisy related items then I agree they are useful. A silent alarm that can do all that is just perfect

They are just a total nuisance really, even if a car alarm does go off nobody pays attention at all as they're so used to alarms going off usually just because of the wind or a fault on the alarm, no-one pays attention, just disconnect it like i did with mine, it used to go off at 2/3am every morning for a week and a half before i had enough and had it dismantled
