Self aware ?

[Kithmo]

I think my car is alive.
Today I unlocked the car, opened the door to look at the tyre pressure label and shut and locked the door.
I then opened the boot and the radio came on, it had put itself into accessory mode.
I didn't touch the seat or even go in the car.
Unlocking and relocking the car wouldn't turn it off. I had to get in the car and put it in ready mode then get out and lock it to turn it off.
I thought it might be pre-empting me getting in and driving off as I normally do every day.

Locked mine today and was pottering about in the Shed.
Alarm started blaring for no reason I could see!
Unlocked it, Locked it.
Not a peep out of it since.

If the key was in your pocket while "pottering", you may have put pressure on the key fob lock button, this will cause the alarm to activate,

Good call.
My phone and glasses were in with the key so definitely a possibility.

It's also the codename for the UK's military communications system.
