my car alarm went off randomly this evening by itself. the lights were flashing and the car was beeping. this is the first time this has happened.

i am gonna call audi tomorow and maybe run my car by to have it checked out, but is there anything anyone could tell me about this issue to put my mind at ease?

02' A4.

 

did you have your window/sunroof open? if so, was there wind?
could have been the sensors inside. my go off when i either have the windows/sunroof open and it's windy

 

do u have your windows or sun roof open

 

Yeah dude, if your windows or sunroof are open, the wind will trip the cabin motion detector. You can disable it with the button on the side pillar of your car. As you're sitting in the driver's seat, it's over your left shoulder, halfway down towards the floor. Check your manual.

 

sunroof tilted open...would that be enough?

three quick replies regarding that, is that likely what it was?

 

yes i can be enough
but on your driver side door near the trunk release button theres asome buttons that will turn of the cabin senor and the tilt sensor

 

if i shut that stuff off and the alarm still went off, is there something else it could be?

(sorry to keep asking questions, just want to keep my car running as nice as possible)

 

feel free to ask questions here

see what happened when u close all windows and stuff see if it goe off
and for those switchs when it lights up red that means u turned the sensor off

 

i will check the sensor in the morning. thanks.

panda, while i have your attention i might as well ask...

i want to replace my stock halogen lights and was thinking about the ecodes, but now am thinking about these:

either the audi a8 package or the rs6 package - Not sure which fits my car, although the guy who i emailed at the site said the a8 package. (but someone on the forums said the a8s didn't fit; to get the rs6 package instead.)

so i am not sure what lights to get.

any suggestions?

 

i would go for the RS6 kit theres a B6 guy name Pops with the RS6 HIDs here
i havent heard of anyone wiht A8 lights yet
