Hi All

We've had a couple of instances of the Countryman alarm going off for no apparent reason. No one near it, but the alarm goes off. Any ideas appreciated.

Our clubman alarm does go off somewhat randomly. Only done it, twice in four months ownership.

We live on a fairly major road, with HGV traffic, and i think i have associated it with a HGV going past. This is despite the car being behind a ten foot stone wall and the Road.

I know it doesn't help but can the sensitivity of the alarm be turned down?

I wondered this. Also wondered about a window ajar.

Hi to all.
Do you mean that High Traffic Vehicle noise triggers your alarm on?

Are you sure that all glazed windows are closed?
Also rooftop (if present)?
Have you got something that can oscillate inside the car?
