RX8 Factory Fitted Alarm Volume
Hi all,
Does anyone knowA) where the alarm unit is and B) if you can turn the volume up on on it, I have just set mine off to see how loud it was as the horn is quite loud !! to find a little fairy tweeting at me hardly able to hear to the fact that mates took the mickey !!!
Any help would be great !!
Cheers Alun

I dont think its a factory fit then as the alarm is really quite quiet !!! and the horn is quite decent i mean i was stood about 20 feet from the car and could hardly hear it !!! its a 2003 model so were they fitted with factory units then ?

Very quiet battery backed alarm
Yeah! I have the same problem as you. Mine is 04 with a battery backed alarm system. I tried setting it off and can barely hear anything from it. The turn signals flashes.
I disassambled the alarm sounder to check if it was anything wrong with the speaker/Siren and connected it to a speaker of my own, but it was nearly whispering too.
Maybe it's a Europe-model alarm for the 04s. Mine's from Austria.
Here is a video of it. Try hearing the alarm if you can:
