I had a similar problem. The Antitheft reacts to voltage changes and views fluctuation as a theft attempt. My Lincoln did the same thing when it was 3 weeks old. I even sat in the Parking lot one night to see if someone was messing with my car. Turns out the battery was shortening out.

SOURCE: 1999 car alarm goes off when the car is locked.

Not a solution, but details about the same problem with my car: I have a 99 Lincoln Continental and have noticed correlations between certain conditions and the frequency of the car alarm going off.

When it is hotter outside, the alarm goes off more frequently than when it is colder.

The more of a slant the car is parked on, the more often the alarm goes off. My boyfriend's driveway is on an incline and any time I park my car there, the alarm will go off every 30 seconds. If I move the car to the level street, it doesn't go off at all. This has been noticed on other slanted places I've attempted to park as well.

SOURCE: ALARM RANDOMLY GOES OFF!!

the factory fit alarm is not voltage sensing .The best advice is to go to VW garage and get them to read the alarm causes,(they can check the last 4).this will give you a good idea where the fault lies.ie door lock mechanism,interior monitor etc..You cannot start looking for problem until you know alarm cause..

SOURCE: car alarm randomly goes off

there is a hood switch located at front passenger side under hood. check to make sure the plunger at hood is pushing the switch completely down. sometimes there may be just enough clearance that a strong wind will set the alarm off.

If you can turn off the internal ultrasonic sensors (many cars allow this so that pets can be left in a car) it may solve the problem. If you can't winding a window down a little sometimes will help

Hyundai alarm

I was having the same issue and just disconnected the hood switch cabling completely. This not only solved my 3 am alarms for no reason but also allows the car to arm the rest of the system, by beeping and flashing lights when arming with the keyfob.

2001 dodge neon car alarm goes off with no reason

There is a reason and that is that one of the door ajar sensors is defective most likely. To determine which sensor is the problem you must have the dealer scan the system ans be able to duplicate the problem.

Anti theft alarm goes off at different times & different places with no reason-2002 Sable Merc.

Had a new Lincoln Mark 7, battery was bad from beginning and would trigger alarm when it shorted at random. In your case, outside radio waves may trigger alarm if shielding was removed from alarm antenna.

My car alarm randomly goes off on my 06 Charger.

I had an issue with an Aveo that would do the same thing... what I did to correct that problem was to diagnose all the alarm switch's.

I took all door switch off inspected them they looked fine I then check the hood switch and when I took it off I noticed it was corroded inside since I changed it the alarm never came on again.

I would check your hood switch it maybe the same.

Good luck
