Doors locked enables alarm system. Has sensor for any movement inside the car (if someone jumps in, without unlocking / opening the door)...and goes off.

Also sets the immobiliser to prevent someone from jump starting it.

Lock the door....dad...

Triangle Town Center in Raleigh

Fair point for sure but does a 90-something Civic del Sol have these features?

Says the guy taking vertical video of a car.

Wouldn't know but when i was his ageish everyone i knew including myself bought a decent stereo and an alarm to go with it.

Manual locking a door activates the alarm right? If he has an alarm...hit the button...all this alarm talk...ain't that some bullshit.

So, alarm but no central locking? Or an aftermarket alarm that doesn't come with a remote?

Really?

Did he really just call his son a mofo?

If it had an alarm system, dad wouldn't need to lock the door. Said alarm system would only enable when central locking was engaged, which the driver would do.

Car alarms don't engage or disengage when a random door is locked or unlocked. they would not be useful were that they case. They are armed only when they get a command from the central locking system. That same command will also lock all doors.

If your car doesn't have central locking, it doesn't have an alarm. Now you can, of course, install an aftermarket alarm that use uses a code or fob to arm. In that case, the arming is completely separate from the locks, and you can leave the doors unlocked and it will not affect its operation. Still on the driver to arm it.

So no, there is no point at whining at your passengers to lock the doors if you have a car with an open top. Either you arm the alarm with the key or fob, which will handle locking, or you don't have that, in which case it doesn't matter because someone can just hop in.
