remove the r/h cubby door, peel back the carpet behind the drivers seat and you'll find a small box with a potentiometer on it. This is the microwave interior sensor, just turn it down a little and then retest it  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

It's really obvious I know, but you haven't got one of your windows open a fraction have you?

I had it with mine where the passenger window was a smidge (we are talking a tiny amount) open, and when a gust of wind blew in it was enough to make the roof slightly billow out and set the alarm off.....took me a couple of days to find that one    s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  

Couldn't see the window was ajar from the drivers seat, and couldn't hear it over the stereo on the move   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:
