Car alarm.....Funny goings on!!

[AndyandChrisGTR]

Hi People,

Strange occurence when I got home this evening. My car is in the garage at the moment and they have very kindly given me a 61 plate A6 as a loan car. Anyway, I've had Audi's for a while and never had an alarm go off before. So, I got home, got out and locked the car and within about 1 minute of locking it the alarm went off. I didn't even realise it was mine before as I've never heard an Audi one go off before.

About an hour later my wife got home, she has a 12 plate A4 and exactly the same thing happened. Gets out, locked the door and within a minute the alarms gone off.

Any ideas what this might be, to start with I thought it might be some scum bag hiding with one of these gizmos that gets the signal from the key so they can then get into the car but I'm just guessing.

I've posted this in the Audi section as well but thought someone in this section might be able to shed some light.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Yep - could be the prelude to a car being stolen. Jammer system hidden somewhere locally.

The premise is that you get sick of the alarm going off and eventually lock it with the key and no alarm. Thief then steps in under cover of darkness.

Very long odds of it being purely coincidental, no?

Theyre talking to eachover, only new audis do this though. You have to put the right models next to eachover though, the 6 is the male and the 4 is female. If they are compatable then both of the alarms start going off, this is when they are mating. In 9 months time a baby a3 will slide out of the 4's exhaust pipe, you are very lucky to have witnessed this, its another way that audi are trying to keep costs down as their cars are so underpriced.

Common knowledge to those in the trade, shouldnt be telling the punters about this though. When the a4 throws an eml up in 9 months youll know that its gone into labour. Most people take them to the dealership to have ut fixed because they dont know, but if you type in the vag command yourself then it will give birth and you keep the baby a3.

Send me a small fee and i will tell you the special vag code.

special vag code.

That sounds so wrong in this context.

Don't wireless doorbells set alarms off these days? Do you or any of your neighbours have one?

Door bells... Really??

Just strange that I've lived here 5 years and had audis for a while as well and it's never happened before. Then it happens to mine and my wife's on the same evening.
