Prius (2001-03) :: Alarm Goes Off When Open Car In The Morning - Delay Starting
My car alarm goes off, or at least it tries to, when I open the car in the morning. Then every time I try and start the car, it seems to delay starting. IE. I put key in and it struggles to turn on, and lights dim.

View 9 RepliesAlarm - Mercedes-benz - E-class :: 2015 - Doors Not Open Keyless And Alarm Went Off When Opened With Key
New 2015 Mercedes E350 wagon ..... The day after I took delivery, I tried to open the new wagon's doors (it has a keyless feature) and nothing happened. I tried again and still nothing happened. I then took the smartkey out of my pocket and tried to click open the locks and nothing happened. I then took the ancillary key out of the smartkey and unlocked the car manually. This set off the alarm which would only stop when I closed the door and relocked the car.
Also, the car would not start. It was like I had broken in to the car. A few minutes later, while waiting for roadside assistance to speak with me, I tried the door handle again and discovered that the doors would now open keylessly. I have driven the car several times since the incident (which occurred yesterday) and it has not repeated the problem. What caused the problem?Is this a one time glitch or am I in danger of being stranded somewhere?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Alarm Is Going Off And Key Fob Won't Unlock Car Or Disable The Alarm
So I had my hood open to check my oil, not a big deal for a 2001 Jetta 1.8t. When I shut the hood, the car decided to simultaneously lock, and now the horn/alarm is going off and the key fob won't unlock the car or disable the alarm. And the keys don't work in the door/trunk so I can't get inside. What I should do?

How good the alarm on a B6 is. I mean, it goes off when the doors are opened and the alarm is on...but how easy is it to steal a Passat.
I wanna put a navi in and do a few things...but I just don't feel ok doing them and knowing I don't have a GREAT alarm.
Prius (Gen 2) :: Alarm Goes Off When FOB Key Exits Car
My friend is having issues with her FOB key. At first it was just extra sensitive. It would go off when it was in her pocket. Now it has gotten to where the alarm goes off when she takes the FOB key out of the slot and shuts the door. She has checked the key and car battery and also the sunglasses holder doesn't have anything in it. I hear that there is a sensor by it.

My Prius alarm keeps going off. Only way to turn off is to put fob in car and start. Is there a fuse I can pull or a wire I can cut? I don't have the $ to get the alarm fixed.

Last night my alarm (honnking horn, lights flashing) went off when my 07 Prius was sitting in the garage with the garage door closed. The only way to stop the alarm was to start the car and leave it running.
At 4:00 this morning it went off again. The only thing I can find amiss is that the battery icon on the main screen registered very low (two purple bars).
Prius (2004-09) :: Car Alarm Randomly Going Off
I have an issue, and I don't know if it's kids, animals, or the car itself. Last night it happened at 3am, tonight I'm sitting on the couch at 12.30am and it just went off again....
I don't see anyone out there around the car, not sure I saw anything last night either. Is there a cause for this? I just replaced my 12v battery in March, have a dead FOB smart key in a fire box (it's up on top of everything in the box). My current key was lying flat on the bench, nothing on top of it.
Prius (2004-09) :: Alarm Going Off Intermittently
I have a 2004 Prius with 191K miles. When purchased in November of 2008 the 12V battery was replaced (mileage at the time was 70K). Over the last 2 weeks my alarm has been going off daytime, nightime with no regularity.
I have replaced the battery in the FOB (I only have one) and did this yesterday. Last night the alarm went off 4 times between 11pm and 1am until I disconnected the 12V battery.
Prius (2004-09) :: Alarm System Keeps Going Off - How To Fix It
Just woken up for the 8th time to the sound of my Prius alarm system sounding. It's an EU prius with the default alarm in it and every time it goes in for a service I tell them about the problem. They tell me they have lowered the activation threshold. I never notice any improvement.
A few questions
1. Is there any adjustable 'activation threshold' on the prius alarm system or are they just fobbing me off?
2. I have pro-tem half solved the problem by removing the fuse that leads to the horn. However a second siren still sounds despite the horn not souding. Where is this siren speaker located as I intend to disconnect that too.
A few observations.
1. It is almost impossible to get the alarm to go off deliberty, such as by waving hands around inside the veh, trying door handles, rocking the veh, hitting the glass, etc. For that reason, I am not sure I believe therefore that it is an intermittent sensor issue as I have "banged every door" so-to-speak.
2. I have checked the battery level and while all the readings are a bit on the low side, ultimately all the results are within the recommended thresholds as defined elsewehre on this site. With that said the car is 4 years old, could the battery be malfunctioning in other ways?
3. Pressing the button under the steering column does not affect whether the alarm activates or not.
Prius (2010-12) :: Alarm Went Off While Driving
After buying my Prius III, the dealer installed a Karr alarm system which has a blue LED light underneath the steering wheel which blinks when it's armed and, if the alarm goes off, blinks once to three times to tell you what set off the alarm.
Tonight I was at dinner and afterward entered my car using the SKS. When I started driving the car I noticed that the LED was blinking making me think my alarm had gone off. After the alarm was first installed, the installer showed me how to reset the LED by holding or clicking the button behind it (I didn't remember how exactly) so I tried pushing and holding the button but nothing worked and it kept blinking.
I continued to drive home and all of a sudden my alarm started going off while I was driving. I pulled over, turned off the engine, and with the key fob locked and unlocked the car. I started driving again and would hear intermittent honks before the alarm went off again for 20 seconds before it stopped on its own.
Finally when I got home I again turned off the engine, locked and unlocked the car, and the blinking LED finally went away. As I was walking around the car inspecting it to see if it had been hit to start all of this in the first place, the car beeped and locked itself automatically as if I held the door handle for the SKS or pushed the lock button on the key fob. I unlocked the car, tried to recreate it, and everything went back to normal.
Prius (Gen 2) :: 2005 - Alarm Sounds Whenever Unlock The Car
I just bought a 2005 Prius in great condition. However, the alarm is making me crazy. It sounds whenever I unlock the car, whether by remote or keyless entry. I turned off the keyless entry function, but it still sounds when I press the unlock button on the remote. I have to press it again to get it to stop. It is very shocking, especially when using keyless entry. I walk up, stand for a moment to assure my key fob has communicated with the car, touch the door handle and it goes off! Then the car unlocks, I pull open the door and it stops. One day I was just walking by the car with my key in my purse and the alarm went off! I had to find the key in my purse and press the unlock button to turn it off. So strange!

I bought the prius fog lights from and installed them per the instruction guide.

I cannot lock my car because after 3 seconds my alarm starts going off. Also whenever I start my car it chirps at me regardless if the alarm has gone off yet.
My car is currently on the road unlocked.

My Prius alarm goes off with no reason day and night. I did check everything like door and hatch back, they are properly closed and nothing could have caused the alarm to go off. I brought my car for checking but what the mechanic can do is just set the horn off, they couldn't find the cause.
