Wierd Alarm/ECU Problem

Hey all,

Just popped a new MTM stage 1 ecu into my 2000 S4. After driving it around and having way too much fun with it I brought the car into the garage, parked it, hit the lock button on the remote and noticed the usual honk it makes when it locks was gone. Hmm... so I tried this a couple times and noticed the little alarm lights by the door locks were off too... after hmming more I walked in and decided I'd post this here.

Any ideas?

are you sure your trunk is shut? the alarm system will not engage if trunk is slightly open

Hey BTW. the dash will bitch about the trunk not closed but doesn't warn you about the hood

It can be dangerous if you forgot to shut the hod completely and you get on the highway.
Just don't understand why, if they HAVE a sensor for it, why they don't show it to you on the dash????
