Alarm

[Grinzzz]

Time for a quiz! On occasion my alarm just won't shut up. It's not regular but when it does go off I have to remove something. No prizes for the correct answer

Odd. (FWIW, it never happened under my stewardship.)

Could try fresh batteries in the fobs to see if that helps?

Is it one of these?

I know, I know it's an owl....

I've got one in mine it hoots when I pull away sometimes!

Last guess....

Could it be:

Couldn't resist one more....

Is it one of these???

Off topic from owls and ***** cats , there was a guy in the states that used to park his car at the front of his house , right outside his kitchen window, every time his missus used to use the microwave it set his alarm off , he cured it by getting a diivorce .................expensive fix

Loz is the closest so far!

Motion activated outside light?

 

[Grinzzz]

Nice try but no. If I leave my iphone or iPad in the car the alarm goes off! I've traced it to the wifi connection that I have on the phone, it uses a frequency very close to that of the alarms internal motion sensor.

Useful the Italians they even think of a facility to tell you that your phones been left behind

Aha - yes - that explains why sometimes the alarm just goes off on mine and other times it's fine (on a 2005 4200). The other day I resorted to leaving it unlocked to resolve the problem, and of course also reached in and took out the iPad before I left - not wanting to leave it in an unlocked car!!

Good deduction - thanks for that.

Cheers
