There is a motion sensor inside the vehicle.

By the time first orders were taken the advanced theft alarm was Thatcham Cat. 1, I think Ineos changed it later. Cat 1 was part of Smooth-pack, so I opted against it. Specs are like this:

shut down the engine and open the driver's door. Tap the "confirm" box on the screen to shut down the display, then close driver's door.
Then just lock the doors from the inside with the switch on the driver's door...

FWIW: To lock the doors without setting the alarm, simply insert the key into the driver's door lock, then 1/4turn to the left.
(necessary on the car ferry so that pitch and roll of the boat traversing across Bass Strait doesn’t trigger the alarm...)

I am wondering how the alarm is switched off then using a rooftop tent. We'll see...

Had to figure this out the first week of owning after getting on the ferry .
2 ways : either lock the car with the key from the outside. Or double click the lock
Button on the remote .

I did the second bit worked fine .

OK, the double click is my normal door closing, because headlights are directly off and shutdown of electronics. BUT if Alarm is off too, I have to change my „workflow“

Yes me too ~ but how certain is it that this is actually the case?

done at least 5 crossings ,overnight mostly, had no complaints of the car alarm going . They usally are pretty fast to come and complain if your car is the one to be casing racket .
The way i found out this was the way its because it was the same on my BMW .

Certain, that we need the alarm, or certain that is off.
I need both, off because dog in the car, or ferry, or camping ….
Alarm on, because we have a lot of people here which want to balance my property to their property 😉

So if I read it correct the first click on the lock button is to lock the car and arm the alarm but if you click again it disables the alarm ?
Do we know how much seconds are in between those clicks? (I have a bit of Anxiety sometimes that is forgot to lock so have a tendency to click a few more times for good measure ) :p

Saw this on bimmer forum:

Disabling motion detector​

BMW Key Fob function available in F/E/G-Series models.

Another handy BMW key fob function that might be useful when you want to leave your car just for a quick sec, but have a passenger or a pet stay inside, is a feature disabling the motion detector. Normally, when your sensors are enabled and you lock someone inside your BMW, it only takes a few movements of a hand to trigger the alarm.

So, to avoid the unnecessary alert, you can press twice on your key’s lock button — one press to close your BMW and the other to turn off the tilt system. This way you’ll disable the motion detector until you come back to your car to open it again. Once you do it, everything gets re-enabled and you get back to normal operation.

High temperatures outside? Don’t bother with disabling the motion detector — just take your children and animals with you.
