2016 M3 ZCP Security Alarm Keeps Going Off!

Tonyfsu21 · 11-20-2016, 07:19 PM

The past couple of days the factory car alarm has been going off for no reason. It's a really annoying sound and it wakes up my neighbors. Anyone have issues with this feature being sensitive? Can it be disabled?

Are you standing by the car to make sure it is going off for no reason? If so, then take the car to your dealership and have them look into the alarm system. If not, make sure someone is not consistently messing with your car causing it to go off.

it could be the motion detector, next time lock you car with your keyfob and hit the lock button a 2nd time - this will disable the interior motion detection

test it out so you have something to present the dealer, lord knows they suck at troubleshooting anything.
