What I meant was that the door locks armed & disarmed the alarm wrongly because when a drivers door lock cylinder is put in to a UK car, of course they drive on the opposite side of the road as opposed to here in the US, so the drivers lock cylinder which was replaced as a UK part was installed into the passenger door, and the US-passenger side cylinder was installed into the US drivers door. When swapped like these were, the alarm functions were backward--when locking the alarm disarmed, when unlocking it armed--Not much fun. I agree with the logic problem--it is the comfort / convenience module under the rear seat behind the driver's (US!) seat in my car which doesn't function. For example, with the front doors open I am supposed to be able to put down the windows, and when I do this all I hear is a click.

Interesting to be actually corresponding with someone in the UK--You probably see a lot of my other favorite cars, Land Rovers.
