Hi Silly question :) anybody know if the factory fitted alarm will sound due to motion if vehicle is locked but on the Calmac ferry

There is mension of tilt alarm in config but I've never come across 1 or seen any other reference to it and don't recall it in the diagrams plus I'd expect it would be something like 35-45 degrees tilt.
I'm not aware of any other sensors eg shock sensor etc.
Factory cat 1 alarm consists of the battery backup sounder and bonnet switch and interior combined lights and ultrasonic sensors.

So 99.99% no it won't go off on a ferry.

Unless!

There is interference by the ultrasonic sensors, very unlikely but there used to be some instances in my mk5 escort days where open air vents may interfere but that's improbable i guess.

Or the motion is enough to wobble a door that affects the mechanism enough to send a signal to the bcm for central locking system. Also improbable and unlikely.

Next there's Act of God..............
