Also, the Boise radio periodically says "STOP" on the panel and will not play anything -CD or radio and no matte what I do it does nothing. So far after a while of fidgeting it goes away. what can cause this/
thanks for the info
IT could be the motion sensors inside the car getting set off...

That sounds like it because the two tims it happened it was parked on busy streets.; Is ther a way to desensitize the motion sensor?

The '07s have a hidden owner viewing sensor designed to reduce the
hours wasted by owners looking at their cars. It's pretty sensitive,
so just stop looking at it.

ohh, been a long time since I've posted but I had this same thing when I first got my car and it turned out that I was putting a sun blocker thing in the window and as it heated over time it slowly moved setting off the alarm... that was such an annoying and weird problem to diagnose! Maybe that helps?
