E39 alarm question.
Car parked on drive all day. Soon after noon alarm went off. Outside
temperature over 25C. Reset it and within a minute it went off again. Reset
it 3 times with the same result.
I then set it with the interior and movement sensor disabled, and the alarm
didn't go off again. The interior of the car was extremely hot BTW.
In the evening when it was much cooler, I reset the alarm to make it fully
functional again, and it went through the night without any problem, and has
been OK all day.
In the 8 months I've had the car, this is the first time the alarm has given
any trouble.
Seems it might be connected to the interior car temperature. I would have
thaught that unlikely, but the fault, if there is one, seemed to dissappear
when the temperature dropped.
Coincidence, or could interior temperature be the cause?
TIA.
Mike.
