Alarm

[Jules]

My alarm has gone off three time this week, seemingly without reason.

In the hand book it says: "Check the alarm indicator if you are unsure about how the car is reacting", but I have no idea what or where this alarm indicator is. Does anyone know?

Anyone had similar problems?

Love driving the car, but starting to get quite tired of this seriously poor software. It work with IT and if I released software with so many issues, I would be fired without a moment's thought.

I have had a problem with the alarm. I was inside cleaning and my wife was outside with the control. The alarm started ringing loudly and it scared us a lot...we don't know why it started and we don't know why it ended either. For a moment we thought that maybe it wouldn't stop ringing until the battery ran out...and as it was on charge for at least two months

Strange as I had the same thing happen last night...

Yes I have had two occasions where the locked car in the garage has had the alarm go off for no apparent reason. After the 2nd event I have put the alarm into low sensitivity and nothing since. This was with 1.31 now on 1.4.

Hello Jules,
I have the same problem, particularly when the boot and drivers door are open.
I have put it on low sensitivity but no use.

When my alarm went off for no apparent reason I did wonder if one of the front seat belts had caught on the seat and then retracted later on activating the alarm. No evidence to back this theory up though…

I’ve had this - I think sometimes the car resets and it changes alarm settings back to the default. My dog was in the car several times. Waiting to see if 1.4.2 solves it / just had the update at my dealer.

The car always resets the alarm settings back to default every time you unlock it. It is designed this way.

If you want the'dog mode' or the reduced sensitivity activated you must do it every time you lock the car.

Annoying, but probably designed to keep the car safe by making sure the alarm is at its most sensitive every time (in case left it in dog mode or reduced sensitivity by accident).

I too have had this issue 1x, the dealer said to bring it in if it happens again, so far so good. In order to minimise the problem I set the alarm to the less sensitive mode…I expected this to remain, but I can confirm that the mode is reset every time you lock and unlock the car…lol… I also worked in IT my whole life, and yes there are many bugs in the software…it will get better over time….
