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.

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".. Exceptional claims demand exceptional evidence ~ There are no facts; only interpretations of facts.

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
