Hi, I noticed that when I have taken my T350 out for a long ride and the car is all warmed up, when I park it, a lot of times the alarm is triggered. In most cases, I stay with the car for another five minutes (I don't mind looking at it so it's not an issue) before I close it. It seems that the alarm gets triggered by the exhaust cooling down. I have a big bore exhaust and when the pîpes start cooling down you can hear a big metallic 'clunk' (that is actually the sound it makes) which triggers the alarm.

Anybody else have this and can you close the car without using the alarm?
Thanks.
Tom.

Definitely not normal, sounds like a sensor is a little too sensitive. I'd get it looked at by a specialist.

Have you tried turning down the sensitivity? The sensor/adjuster is under the armrest area forward of the gearstick.
