Does it get cold in your area? Mine does that in the winter. I think cold contraction causes microswitches to de-couple, causing the car to alarm.

I had that same problem when I bought my car three years ago. My car resides under a carport for three. I own the middle spot... the two on each side owning them because they own two units (condos).

My alarm was going off under the same conditions: Sometimes later... sometimes very early morning. I suspected my neighbors... installed a fake camera... that seemed to solve my alarm issues.

haha thats a funny story, but I dont think thats my issue.
This happens no matter where I park. For example: in front of a shop for 15 minutes, or in my private garage.

I doubt anyone is getting to it in there...
