My porsche boxster alarm keeps going off by itself! What can i do?

Recently my Porsche boxster S 02 alarm keeps going off at all times and permanantly through the night! Any help?|||Sell it and get a real porsche|||I have a feeling your car has an aftermarket alarm system. If so, you can go to any auto sound store and have them check the system. The motion detector may be set to too high sensitivity. Also, some aftermarket systems have a radar unit inside the car to detect intrusion. This may also need adjusting.





If you have a rare factory alarm system, then Porsche will be the best source for repairs.





FYI, my Boxster has an aftermarket system with a radar. The alarm doesn't go off, but it gives a warning (beep, beep, beep, beep, beep) at very random times. My alarm is an aftermarket that continally needs adjusting. My only logical conclusion is that I drive the car pretty hard and I must be shifting the motion detector box.|||Sounds like the very common issue of a flat battery!!!





The alarm system is designed to detect voltage drop which can be caused by a flat battery. Get this checked.





Or another issue on these cars is corrosion on the electrical connections to the battery back-up siren and tilt sensor beneath the plastic panelwork just in front of the windscreen (You will need the front hood up to access this area).





Best thing to do is to let a Porsche dealer to look at it as the "Specialists" are, on average, a load of c**p.|||Read the owners manual or call up a dealership bec the alarm's sensitivity might require resetting.








Hope that helps and best of luck.
