Locking/unlocking when washing car

Not sure if this is the right location for this, but has anyone else noticed when they wash their car (at a "wand" type car wash), when I'm spraying the car around the handle area, the car spontaneously locks and unlocks... I guess it's just sensitive to the pressure of the water there. Is there any way to prevent this? It's not really causing a problem, it's just annoying.

Yes, always happened when I wass washing my 128. One of several reasons I did not get comfort access on my new 228

if you want to keep the car locked while washing it there is no way to avoid it, i just wash mine unlocked.

1 Wash the car at home
2 leave car unlocked
3 worry about more important things
4 check if there's an option to disable comfort access

Yep, this happens to me. Just have to keep the FOB farther away or even IN the car. I had the trunk open while rinsing the read end with the hose on full blast. Water had triggered the comfort access kick sensor. You can guess what happened as a result.
