E36 M3 Alarm too Sensitive, Can it be adjusted?

[antnicuk]

I have the stock alarm on my E36 M3 and it goes off randomly if i lock it with the key fob. Is there anything i can do about it?, is there a shock sensor that can be turned down or disconnected?

Not sure about adjusting, but, FWIW: check the vents are all closed, & there's nothing spider-like swinging from the ultrasonics. I give them a gentle hoover every so often, as dust build up can trigger them.
The bonnet pins can break, but you'd normally get a warning bleep once you've set it. Sometimes the auto dim on the interior lights mucks about, which can also cause false alarms.

a easy way to cheak if its the u/s to sens is to put some insulation tape over the heads arm the alarm and see if it goes off, if it still goes of its not the u/s

Mine are top of the A pillar, one each side, tucked into the top of the trim facing rearwards.
