Think that we've covered that one before - back in the days.
As I recall, UK models do not have the tilt sensor.

Ok, so getting back to the point, how much of the plug looking thing actually comes out of the socket? Is it just the small piece with the wires going into it, or the larger piece? Also, is the small plug retained with anything. I have given the plug a good old tug, but did not budge. I guess cutting those pipes out the way would be a bad idea, but access would be much easier.2005, TDV6 S, Auto, 190k miles, owned from new, V8 Brake Upgrade, Nancom Evo, RLD protector, BAS EGR blanking & Remap, separate ATF cooler, changing all the fluids ahead of time.
I have to say, the battery backup is obviously useless as it does not sound the alarm when the battery is disconnected or the plug is removed which is surely the point of the battery backup?
But shouldn't the battery backup only kick in if the alarm has been triggered and then the power is disconnected?
By removing the Volvo sounder, are we loosing the battery backup facility?Matt

Right, the sounder on mine is the one without the tilt sensor, yes, by disconnecting it (the whole plug comes out, use a small screwdriver to depess the locking tab just above the wires) you lose the battery backup bit, your choice really, hear it and 'risk' losing the battery backup in the event of battery disconnection or not hear it -even after battery disconnection
The
Choice
Is

I think I'll be taking my chances and getting the horn
If it gets nicked and the insurers mention about the unit being disconnected, I'll just say that "da robber dun it guv".. 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
I haven't looked at mine yet, but is there any way the existing sounder can be moved outside the box so it is louder? I suppose the wiring isn't long enough.Matt
