Hi guys, I’ve recently encountered an issue with my 13-plated Polo GT where the alarm randomly goes off during the middle of the night. It’s gotten so bad that it’s genuinely started ruining my sleep schedule, especially as I have to be up by 7am.
The alarm can trigger randomly at any point from when the car is locked around 9pm all the way through to when I need to take it to work around 7am. Sometimes it goes off multiple times throughout the night, and I’ve now had to start leaving the keys with my dad or brother so they can unlock and lock the car again when it goes off, as they usually are either awake when it goes off during the night or can wake up faster than me to turn it off
I’m very inexperienced when it comes to looking at issues with cars and honestly have pretty much no knowledge about what could be causing this apart from a battery issue which cant be the case as mine is literally brand spanking new. I’ve been recommended to post on here to see if anyone has any ideas or has experienced something similar, as I’d rather get some advice before attempting to fix anything myself or taking it to a garage.
Any advice on what could be causing the alarm to randomly trigger would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
