Ok, if the battery goes flat he has to smash a window, but it's his window to smash. 10/10.

Any idea if it also stops the alarm being disabled if someone cracks the lock barrel out of the door panel? Cos that's an outstanding security feature

In Ford advertising fantasy land yes
What really happens: take some big grips, apply them to your door lock, twist until the lock cracks out of the mount. Hear any alarm? Nah. All you hear is the nice 'clunk' of the central locking opening all doors. That nice absence of 'beep beep beep' you hear? That's your alarm, not going off. Your immobiliser is off too, for bonus points. Because there's a push rod behind the lock connected to a switch that turns all this off. Enjoy yourself
No space lasers needed. I wouldn't share the info, but the Daily Star and a bunch of other big sites already did so eh.
How do I know all this? "Here's one I made earlier"

Bollocks.
IF you have an alarm, then if the door is unlocked with the key, you then have to put a coded key in the ignition and turn it to position two
The main issue, other than the sh*t locks, is the fact that very very few vans have stock alarms, cos
Everyone is to f*** miserable to tick the alarm option box on the order form.

Also, if your battery is flat and some folk have removed the lock from the door........ isn't it cheaper to unlock the bonnet and power the van from the jump points than smash a window????
Can't understand why you'd need to smash a window!
