Locking the car with the window down?

[Dayy]

Hey guys, with the recently heatwave I've been wanting to lower the windows on my car a little bit while I am at work/home but still lock the car. However if I do, the alarm starts going off after about 2 minutes.

 

Is there a way around this or is it just not possible to lock your car with the windows down? Its an 06 Facelift with the GT Pack, if any of that makes a difference.

 

I know other cars can do this (My sisters does, for example, and then has a sensor for if anything passes through the open window).

I realised this the other day too at the supermarket when I came back to my car with the alarm blaring. Doh! Only dropped them about an inch as it was so hot.

Yes, but it's a faff: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/72016-350z-interior-alarm-sensor/

What if you lock the car with the key instead of button? Will that make a difference?

Nope, the alarm still activates.

Yep. Stop car. Turn off. Turn key to ignition then off 3 times. Get out. Lock car. Done

I've had the car nearly 5 years but never knew this

Splendid, I'll have to give that a go. Thanks.
