Hey all (apologies for all the topics)

This started this morning, when driving the car home from work.

Whilst driving down the road, the alarm will start going off! Nothing I seemed to try and press whilst driving fixed it, but about 30 seconds later it just switches off and stops sounding. This happened 2 or 3 times on the way home.

When I was home I locked the car as normal, but since then the alarm has gone off quite a few times, literally for no reason at all. And at random times throughout the day.

Firstly any idea whats wrong?

and secondly is there ANY way that I can lock the car without the alarm system being activated at all? (I checked the manual it didnt mention it, the only thing it said was about switching off the passenger monitoring, I tried this but no luck)

Power sounder Have a look in the mainenance guides, there is a how2 in there on how to disconnect it

Lock the drivers door by reaching round from the rear door then shut the rear door = no alarm!

Thank god! I think if it were to carry on overnight I'd have several neighbors forming an angry mob at the door!

Thanks Welung666

No prob. If you want to replace it afterwards they are about £50 on TC from a stealer.

Welung666: Havent had chance yet to disconnect the sounder, that is being done first thing 2mrow morning.

In the mean time its been doing it again tonight and its getting worse, the method of 'Lock the drivers door by reaching round from the rear door then shut the rear door = no alarm!'

Doesnt work im afraid I did this several times and the alarm still seems to go off

Any more ideas for tonight? I dont want to disconnect the battery as wouldnt that then reset most of the car?

Disconnecting the battery might be a good call. Normally the power sounder plays up when its' internal batteries die, so chances are it wouldn't last long with the main battery disconnected. Make sure you have the radio code, etc. first.

Ok, if it goes off again then il disconnect the battery, as long as ive got the radio codes, disconnecting the battery for 8 or so hours cant do any permanent damage can it?
