When I test drove the A4 in 2000 & 2001, I was told to push a switch to turn off the glass breakage alarm if I left my dog inside the car.

I bought a 2006 A4 but I didn't see any switch like that. I couldn't find anything on the owner's manual either.

Did they take this feature away? If so, does it mean the alarm will not be ste off if someone breaks the windows?

Thanks.

it was a motion detector. it was on the B column, by the driver's seat down near the base.

you would press it if you were leaving a dog in the car, or if someone was sitting in the car, that way the motion alarm wouldnt get set off.

far as i know, the motion detectors are gone from our car

is there anything to detect glass breakage? Will the alarm got triggered when someone breaks the windows?

There never was any glass breakage alarm as far as I know.

Avants have glass break wires in the rearmost side windows, sedans have nothing

I've got the motion detector disable switch in an '07 RS4, and a tilt sensor disable switch too

Those are derfosters and antennas, not security features...

If they were defrosters then the last few days when all my windows have been white with frost and I've had the defroster turned oin then they would have cleared - and they DON'T. And it's not because they are broken - it's the same on the 5 A4/S4/RS4 Avants that I've owned.

Some of the wires ARE antennas, for TV and AM/FM, but some are for glass break - check out the erWin Audi wiring diagrams for proof ...

you couldn't get to the door locks or anything through one of those windows. They'd probably be the least likely to be broken out of all of the windows in the car...

... so someone could break them and take your stuff out from the area behind the rear seats without triggering the alarm if they didn't!
