Alarm

My alarm has gone off three times today, is there a way of finding out what triggered it? I checked all the widows etc and all is OK.

Have you tried setting the alarm with the 'movement' option off?

Moth, spider etc?

I gave the car a good spray with fly killer as I saw one buzzing about the car and it's not done it since, so it must be that.

Insects are likely to enter a car and set up home at any time and every false alarm undermines their effectiveness in real intrusion as people can assume it's just another false alarm.

You would have though that by now alarm systems could differentiate between an insect and a fist coming through a window.

My neighbour's alarm on his X40 had gone off twice on consecutive days this week - he has yet to discover why and I have had it happen on two other marques, so it seems a pretty general problem.
