Hello!

I Just got a call from my girlfriend, saying that she can't get the factory alarm to disengage on my 123. Its supposed to disengage by using the key to unlock the driver's door. I'm not sure if she isn't turning the key all the way over or if there's actually a problem.

If it turns out there's a real problem, any ideas on what it may be? My first guess would be the mechanism in the driver's door lock that activates/deactivates the alarm, but maybe someone who knows this system better than me could say for sure.

Thanks in advance!
