These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

2 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone heard of their alarm going off whilst actually driving the car!!! ? :?: I thought the police were behind me! Cheers for any advice

POST 2Original post

I had this prob with a TOAD system and it just wouldnt shut up, i had to physically disconnect the battery. First point of call was change the fob battery, that made no difference, it turned out it was a faulty siren unit in the end. Replaced and all was fine. Is yours still switching off on the fob?

POST 3Original post

I have noticed you made a comment in the earlier thread about central locking problems? This would no doubt be related. There is a link somewhere to download the Cannells PDF Alarm system diagnosis, I will try to find it :thumb:

I was chatting with my local Porsche repair centre, he said check your connections on your alarm control module, cus if there are any issues there it cold be the reason.. corroded connectors etc etc... so might hunt out that the weekend and will let you know... :?: plus i have just got delivered a set of GT3 6 pots, so might be tinkering with them also...

POST 6Original post

Maybe try disconnect the door looms from the A-pillar (open the door, the Black coregated tubing above the lower door hinge held in by 1 Torx screw) clean terminals & spray with WD40, reconnect.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

well seat came out aned looked at control unit connections all good and all dry.. I will have a look at the door looms tonight as per your suggesion and see if there is anything there. Cheers

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well a removal of all connecters to the control box under the seat and reseating them seems to have cured the problem, no more annoying random alarms Cheers
