olblue1062 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Anyone have any issues with false alarms from the active alarm system? No pattern but the horn sounds off occasionally with no provocation. Tried locking the doors with key instead of fob... still sets on occasion. Any thoughts TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reino Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Apparently I have this Active Anti-Theft thingy too, according to the sticker, but not really sure what it is. Dont know if its disabled or what but havent heard a chirp out of mine. I guess Im not too worried about it because of my 110 lb Dobie and my , lets say, small arsenal waiting for some one to test the Dobe and weapons on. Now thats a real "Active Anti-Theft" Maybe its in Valet Mode, if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick you hand into the car and your alarm should go off (that's if you have the Active Alarm). I noticed it when I was getting if from the dealer and it was locked with the windows down while I was talking with someone. I reached in to put the paper work in the passenger seat and set the alarm off. I was impressed that it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingram4868 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 The motion sensors are the two round holes in the side of the overhead lights. I have never had mine go off accidentally so yours might need to be replaced as a warranty issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSHELBY Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 ya, my car did the same thing with the window down and alarm set by key for. At first i thought someone was trying to open the door , ( i was at a car show). Then I reached into the back seat to grab a coat and I set the alarm off too. I was wondering what those things by the over head lights were, now i know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts TIA I have not had any false alarms,but it will go off if the plane of the car is changed while the doors are locked.I lock my car out of habit every time I get out of it and when I jacked it up to change the oil it went off.

Carl Bishop Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Mine went off while on a ferry ride at the OBX with the windows up and the car locked. I guess the vibration from the ferry's engines set it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the vibration from the ferry's engines set it off? I was reading about it the other day and it said a change in the pitch (like it putting it on a roll-back) would set it off to deter theft by wrecker. That may of been why it went off.

The alarm arms itself 20 seconds after locking the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
