Car alarm going off

[gdog]

Today my Car alarm kept going off. Noticed window was down a little. Put it up and no more alarms. Is this another quirk of the MG4?

Remember to close your windows. Its not advisable to keep them ever so litle open, as it makes it easy for untrustworthy to gain access. There is no movement detection alarm inside the car

If no movement detection wonder what set it off. Must admit I hate cars telling me what to do. I'd like to make my own decisions thank you very much MG4.

All new cars are computerized and "tells you what to do".
You probably left your windows open just a hair on the side where it thought it was closed, but the slightest wind or car going by moved it the aforementioned hair triggering the alarm. Be blessed it did, so you were not greeted by a burgled car in the morning.

I agree but it's probably an age thing together with no Sunday trading, half-time closing on Wednesdays and pubs shutting in the afternoons.

Most of the worlds problems wouldn't exist if there was no anti-social media or, controversially, no religion.

With all the problems highlighted in the site I am not sure that it would be advisable for nerds to try and steal the car.

Wont start
Locked in
Stereo not working
Lane keep assist directing them into the local fuzz shop
emergency stop
Turtle mode
etc, etc

I discovered the problem. The OBD reader is setting it off. But only on some occasions
