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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Several times this summer, my alarm has gone off without being disturbed. The only real caveat is that I live in OK and it has been extremely hot here this summer. I've been setting the alarm, pushing the button twice to turn off the interior motion sensor. I had hoped that was all it would take, but it seems to still go off occasionally. Has anyone else noticed this behavior, or have any suggestions that might help?

POST 2Original post

Living in AZ we are extremely hot as you can imagine. Never had that problem though. Good luck!

POST 3Original post

Nope. Not even in 105 degree temps between super hot track sessions.

POST 4Original post

Subscribed because i've been having that problem more frequently. Did you install an aftermarket deck?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, I was starting to worry about that being the culprit as I didn't seem to have the problem before. But then again, I'd only had the car about a month and a half or so before having the deck installed. I also had a parking brake bypass installed for the video if that's of any consequence?

POST 6Original post

Are you using a sun shade inside the car? Are you SURE the motion sensor is off? I have to ask because mine does the same thing but I'm pretty sure it's the sun shade moving around.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It has gone off with and without a sunshade in place. As for the interior motion sensor being off, my understanding is that when you press the key remote arming button twice in rapid succession, you will get a double flash of the parking lights and a beep of the horn indicating the interior sensor is disabled. That is how I always arm my alarm. The horn beep gives me reassurance that the alarm is armed, as the parking lights also flash when disarming (but without the horn).

POST 8Original post

Heat index was 106 yesterday in Miami and climbing never had that issue with or without sun shield in place.

There's supposed 2 be a wire that needs to be wired into the deck when an aftermarket deck is put in. Otherwise the alarm sometimes goes a bit nuts. Maybe ask your installed to double check? Problem is i'm not sure which wire it is.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hmmmm...wonder what wire that might be?!? The guys I used were where the local dealer sends their aftermarket installs, so I assumed they'd be familiar with any particular p-car "gotchas"...maybe not?!?

POST 11Original post

I've only had the problem with sun-shields in the windshield.

POST 12Original post

Possibly the car interior creaking from heating up? The a/c sets a pretty big temperature difference between parts when dealing with 100+ outside. Had the wind set off my motion one time I figure. Parked with the windows down a few inches in a secure area and I figure the ir sensor read heatwaves as a body moving or something while I was walking away in front of the car. I'm more inclined to figure the radio however it manages to do set things off. Possibly the radio might have a timer for powering down thats read by the alarm which thinks its somebody tampering. Maybe read the radio manual to see if there is a configuration to change.

POST 13Original post

Never had the car alarm go off from the heat (or cold) and I've parked the car in some pretty hot (and cold) temps. A few times I've had the alarm go off for no obvious reason and traced the reason to a flying insect (small moth) in the car. If this is going on this can be hard to determine. I was successful in finally spotting the thing fluttering about and splatting the thing with a baseball cap. Sincerely, Macster.
