Turning off the car-alarm for travel on ferries

[TetchyTechie]

I use car-ferries relatively often, and some operators request that people deactivate the theft-alarm because the vibration (on high-speed ferries) and wave motion (on traditional ferries) can trigger the alarms continually, flattening the car's 12V batteries, and making the car-deck(s) rather noisy.

My previous EV made this easy - just double-click the lock button on the remote or car handle when locking the car.

I can't find anything in the MG5 manual - is this function available, and if so, can some one tell me the 'secret handshake'?

Edit to add: As a newbie, didn't appreciate the 'Question' tab, and I don't see how to add it after publishing. Could a kind moderator magically make this into a question?
[ Moderator: done. ]

No need, see below

How to disable the alarm?

Hello, does anybody know how to disable the alarm om the MG5? In a few days I will be traveling with ferry and they want the alarms to be disabled during the journey. I have tried to read in the manual but as far as I can see it's not stated how to disable. It have not been a issue before, but...

As indicated in the thread above, the MG5 doesn't have movement sensors so shouldn't cause a problem.

Thank you to the moderator for making my post a question;
and thank you both to:

• MickeySw for pointing out a relevant thread (and not pointing out that my ability to search the forum before asking questions that have been asked before 'has great potential for improvement'); and
• Alb for summarising the solution thread (which is still worth reading).
