MAN TGE Full Vodafone Alarm Installation for Van Security
This MAN TGE Vodafone alarm installation now provides full perimeter protection—from the cab to the cargo doors—after a proper retrofit here at our workshop. 🚐🔐
Did you know the factory alarm on most MAN TGE and VW Crafter vans only covers the cab area? That means if someone breaks into your rear doors or smashes a window in the load area, the alarm won’t even flinch. Rear locks get attacked all the time—and that’s why this Vodafone alarm upgrade is a must-have for serious van protection.
Full Vehicle Coverage
This MAN TGE received a complete Vodafone alarm system retrofit designed to secure the entire vehicle front to back. Here’s what the system includes:
- ✔️ Works with the original remote – no extra key fobs to carry
- ✔️ Monitors cab doors, rear doors, and side sliders – triggers instantly if opened without disarming
- ✔️ Ultrasonic sensors in the cab – detect interior movement
- ✔️ Microwave sensor in the rear – forms a protective detection bubble that can sense movement through shelving, bulkheads, or gear
If someone enters the rear and starts moving about—or even tampers with your tools—the alarm responds immediately.
Useful Bonus Features
Alongside the core protection, this Vodafone alarm system also includes some smart extras:
- 🔔 Three warning beeps if a door isn’t shut properly when you try to lock the van
- 🔔 Four beeps when unlocking if the alarm has been triggered while you were away—plus event memory so you can check what set it off
It’s a subtle but powerful upgrade that gives you a lot more peace of mind—especially if your van is regularly loaded with expensive tools or equipment.
Why This Upgrade Matters
Too many van owners assume their factory alarm gives full coverage, but this simply isn’t the case. Most stock systems are limited to the cab doors and often ignore the cargo area entirely. This isn’t just a vulnerability—it’s an open invitation for thieves. The Vodafone system covers every access point and uses interior sensors to detect movement even through racking and stored gear.
Professional Fitment, Proper Results
We fitted this Vodafone alarm system with full integration into the vehicle’s original wiring and locking system—no messy aftermarket boxes or bolt-on keypads. Everything is coded and tested to OEM standards. This type of retrofit requires careful disassembly of dash panels and rear trims, correct routing of wiring looms, and calibration of sensors—especially the microwave unit in the rear, which must be precisely positioned to avoid false alarms.
