[A4] ReplaceAlarm System

Tue Jan 3 11:59:17 EST 2006

I thought that bump was the Sun Sensor for the AC unit and dash light intensity?  My understanding was the antenna for the alarm is under the rear seat and you can remove it and unfurl it for better reception.

strange. the dealer pointed out the little nub on the dash as
being the receiver for the remote. he could have been full of it, though.

Actually Brizax, the dealer is correct. The little bump in the windscreen defroster vent on the 
top of the dash contains the RF antenna. The motion sensors are in the little vents on the B 
pillars.

You also pointed out something about antennas being located in odd areas. In the IR keyless entry 
cars, the sensors are located on each side of the car, on the outside of the B-pillar. Again, 
little black bumps.
