My 2003 X5 alarm started acting strange - it is turning on for no particular reason. It happened 10-15 times. I can not find any regularity. Alarm stops when I press lock/unlock on remote or when I unlock the car with the key. Any idea why this may happen?

I had the same problem with my maxima and the alarm I replaced my starter and haven't had any problems with it yet and my alarm is back and up running as we'll so I would start with your starter.... I took mine to the auto parts store tested great because it decided not to act up at the time....but dead again all the sudden.... took starter out it was shot and put in the new one fires up everytime now alarm works great hope this helps
this happened to us when we got a new key and had it programmed with the car. anytime we locked the doors and opened them with the key instead of the remote, the alarm would set itself off. we took out the fuse for the alarm.
assuming you say that the engine turns over but wont start,1st make sure you have good batteries in the remote then sit in car with key in ignition turned on,press/hold the alarm button on the remote,get back to me if this doesnt work (with both remotes).
Your alarm siren is the problem. You can replace the siren or have the Saab dealer program your car NOT to use it and remove it. When you turn off the ignition your SID will not display anything, unless the key in the ON or START position.
yeah disconnect the alarm system from the car..... so many time when this happens the alarm system for some reason keeps the car from starting. if you can disconnet he alarm the car should start.
same thing im home and the car alarm turns on by itself,
