SUSSEX INSTALLATIONS - VW5-PP-1S-RB-D - -
This is our Platinum* Security Package for the VW Transporter van with single side load door on the left, and either twin barn doors on the rear or a tailgate and a factory VW alarm fitted.
This package offers;
- A medium-high level of protection against entry into the load area of your van
- Detection of intrusion into the load area of your vehicle via your factory fitted alarm system
- An additional layer of mechanical security separate from the van's remote control
To test if your VW Transporter T5 or T6 has an alarm system already installed, please follow these steps.
1) Press the lock button on your remote control once
2) Wait 2 minutes
3) Do NOT press the unlock button of your remote control, but insert the manual key into the lock on the driver's door and turn it clockwise into the unlock position.
4) Open your driver's door
If you hear an alarm at this point then this is confirmation that you have an alarm system fitted to your van, you can now press the unlock key on your remote control to stop the alarm from sounding. If you do not hear an alarm at this point then you do not have an alarm system fitted.
Please watch the video below for a demonstration of our alarm upgrade and also for video instructions on how to test if you have a factory alarm fitted or not.
Subscribe to both our YouTube channel and website newsletter to keep up to date with van security products and advice; as things are constantly changing as we respond and adapt to new attack techniques as we see them.
Note: This package is a Platinum* as we do not have a conclusive solution to protect the manufacturer's weak points on this model van. We have added double locks to this van to give a double layer of extra security instead of a single layer of extra security and protecting the manufacturer's weak point as we would normally do with a Platinum Package. Whilst we take great care in selecting products and techniques that we believe are effective to increase your van's security, we can never guarantee that any van is safe from a break in.
B) Put your deadlocks on at every possible chance.
B) Spray the hook bolt behind the hook and in front of it once per month with white spray grease.
C) Book in with us for a yearly check up and security review.
A) Make sure your key is horizontal and NOT vertical , also try the key in both horizontal positions (ie turn the key 180 degrees and try again).
Q) I can't open my side load door or rear barn doors?
A) 1st double press the unlock button on your van's remote control and then make sure the deadlock is unlocked.
Q) I tried to open my door with the deadlocks still locked and now they are jammed?
A) Try gently pressing your door closed while you turn the key to unlock your deadlock, but be careful not to push too hard on your van's panels as you don't want to damage them.
Q) I can put my deadlock key in, but the key won't turn at all in the lock?
A) You might have got some dirt inside the lock or you have not lubricated the lock regularly. Spray some P.T.F.E. lubricant inside the lock to dislodge the dirt (watch our videos on YouTube for a detailed guide on how to do this).
Q) Is it still possible for someone to break into my van?
A) This is likely the PIR detector picking up the person in the back of the van, this is normal and there is no need to worry.
