Well, happened twice today on my way to work and then again back home for lunch. The first time I was driving along and hear the little beep, but thought maybe I was jsut hearing things as I was listening to thestereo at the time. Then about 10 seconds later the hazard lights go off, horn starts beeping and I am like "WTF" as I start to panic trying to figure out what the hell just happened. I pop in the clutch, turn it off, coast, and notice that I don't have any error messages flashing. It took me a couple seconds to realize it was just the alarm. I press the unlock button on the key fob and turn it back on, released the clutch,and continue on my way to work while trying to figure out how in the hell I bumped it to set it while driving.

It just did it again on my way way home for lunch, although this time I just quickly shut it off via the key fob without shutting down the engine asI knew what it was. Gah, now to find out what the hell is causing this because embarressing to be driving along and with out warning be appearing like I am honking at people with my hazards going.

 

haha thats funny, as long as its not me

 

I found the source but not the root cause. It appears that there is something about a new tech company that moved in bwteen my work and home that is setting off my alarm. Every time I approach it and get within ~1000' from any direction my alarm sets then goes off a few seconds later. Currently trying to decide what to do. Tested out a few other cars and only mine seems to be affected.

 

go talk to the tech company about it.. find out what they are transmitting.

 

Wierd...

 

Thats crazy, I haven't tried this but I heard you can use your key fob through a cell phone. Does anybody know if that works.

 

If that is a tech company, they've got some serious RFI problems!

 

yes, it works by retransmitting the RF signal.

 

Well, turns out they were doing some high power/frequency emi testing outside of a cage because "it was quicker". Not too bright, but it's solved now after a talk with their CTO, a brief demo and his examination of what his engineers were doing...
