With the hood up, or hardtop on, the alarm should sound when triggered by these units. (shown by the LED coming on!)

just my 2 cents worth!

Thanks for that explanation Ian, perhaps they were only fitted to later models or were an option because I can't find them on my car.
My Toad alarm must have something similar because if walk near the car with the alarm set, it lets out a series of audible bleeps.
