2002 330ci factory alarm keeps going off!

Perhaps the wind is rocking the car and setting off the motion detector? Might have to reduce the sensitivity. I have no idea how that is done on your car...

OK Ranger, As I like to say - RTFOM...

From TFOM: page 36

Alarm system* The concept - The vehicle alarm system responds: When a door, the hood or the luggage compartment lid is opened To movement inside the vehicle (interior motion sensor) To variations in the vehicle's tilt angle such as those occurring during attempts to steal the wheels or tow the vehicle To interruption of battery voltage.

and page 37 Avoiding unintentional alarms The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor may be switched off at the same time. You can do this to prevent a false alarm from being triggered in garages with elevator ramps, for instance, or when the vehicle is transported by train:

Lock the vehicle twice (= arm the system). Press the button on the remote control twice in succession or lock the vehicle twice with the key. The indicator lamp lights up briefly and then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor are deactivated for as long as the system remains armed.

So it appears you can disable the motion sense during windy weather.

-Fred W It's amazing what a wealth of information resides in our own glove boxes...

How right you are Malt Hound, many thanks for the info. I've got a couple of questions on the climate control - ah no, I'll spend the weekend and RTFOM!

Ta.
