Thread: D2 alarm going off intermittently

Bloody moths

If you want to avoid the alarm going off cause of the bloody moths, then lock it with the key as this doesn't activate the volumetric sensors. We use this locking when we are off camping as the bloody moths set our alarm off a few times at the wee hours of the morning....not many happy campers around us then...

Had exactly the same problem a couple of weeks ago - still nice to know just how sensitive the alarm system is. This is only the third time our alarm has gone off. First time I think one of the girls had left a soft toy balancing on the top of the back seat - it must have dozed off at 1:30 'cos that's when the alarm went Second time my wife was shopping and left one of the girls in the car reading while she ducked into one shop - out of habit she locked the car Bec was oblivious until after a minute or two she moved - apparently it's very loud inside the car Fortunately she had the nouse to realise what the problem was and sat still - very still

cheers, Andy

I do it as well while camping,after it went off in the early hours of the morning in the Dalhousie Springs camp ground.We certainly made some friends that night
I recon something moved in the car & tripped the alarm.

I was camping at Frecinet pininsula in Tassie with my brother in law and sister a couple of years back. My BIL has the same year disco as me (after I convinced him not to buy a Prado). At around 2 am the alarm went off.

I flew out of bed and out of the tent frantically fumbling with the key fob and pressing buttons to no avail. Turns out it was his alarm going off but it still scared the crap out of me!

Use the key locking now...

I have had an engel fridge do the same thing at night.
Best thing when camping is lock vehicle with key, This way we all get a nice snooze with no-ones alarm going off
Cheers

Something like that happened to me, except I found a cat sleeping in mine

Hi Andy, Just pull the ultrasonic sensor down from the roof and unplug it...
