Whats that switch for

Slightly off topic but reminds me of something I was reading about Alan Sugars AMSTRAD the other day.In the 80's they sold music centres with a noise reduction button that wasnt actually wired to anything!!!

I am 99% sure it is used to disable the ultrasonic interior sensors on the alarm thereby allowing you to alarm the car with say windows left open or sunroof left open.

I have that switch but havent tested it yet. You know where the ultrasonic sensors are placed in the cabin? My car is booked in on Friday to have a Cat 1 Alarm/immobiliser fitted (for Insurance purposes) even though the Porsche alarm seems adequate. They say they may have to remove the current alarm depending on setup or to leave it in place. Not sure what the out come would be by doing that though.

Mine has this too. I also thought it was the sensor switch but it doesn't make a blind bit off difference. If I leave my windows slightly open the alarm goes off regardless!

You may not have the original alarm still fitted. Quite a lot of 964s seem to have had replacement alarms in the 90s so you may just have a disconnected switch left now.

Ian, you are right I have a new alarm. The fitter probably didn't connect it up to the disable switch, grrr!
