Been searching but cant find it. I have printed the user instuctions I found on here (thanks Brind) but it doesnt cover what I want to know. Basically when I arm the alarm the hazards flash as normal but there is no double siren beep to tell me its armed. its a small thing but I know there is a way to get the siren to chirp twice on arming this is useful as if i jump out of the car and hit the button sometimes I dont see the hazards flash and dont know if Ive armed the alarm and end up going back to check.

Im sure its something simple. can anyone help?.

(If indeed the 2.5 v6 was fitted with the elite 3? after a bit more searching Im not so sure it was?. can anyone confirm what system was fitted to the v6.)

Found this

to activate de-activate the beeps follow these instructions.

1. disconnect car battery (wait 30 seconds)
2. reconnect car battery
3. within 5 seconds of reconnecting battery press button A (the large one) on the remote fob.

This will activate/deactivate the buzzer for keypresses.

Cheers nick, I presume I need to deactivate the alarm before I disconnect the battery?
