For the 2nd day in a row, my alarm keeps going off. It's like someone keeps hitting the panic button. At first I though I hit it by accident because I had my keys in my pants pocket, but I took them out and laid them on my desk. My car is parked about 30 yards from my 2nd story office... is it possible the remote is sending out the panic signal? What is the factory alarm sensitive too? Thanks for help!

If you have the sunroof cracked and/or windows cracked, make sure you disable the interior sensor (button on interior of B-pillar). If you don't, you'll occasionally have false alarms.

My stupid alarm does the same keeps going off windows closed/ open roof open/closed doesn't matter..The dealer said it could be a swith or something, don't have time for them to keep the car, so Everytime I get out the car I disable the interior sensor, By the B piller(Driver's seatbelt) press it for 1-2 seconds and the led on the door goes on disabling the sensor..The driver's door must be the last one to close,,if you have passengers let them close doors first, press buttons and close driver's door...Pain in the ass I guess but no more Dead Duck sound from the trunk

that as the interior of the parked car heated up, the air currents would set off the motion sensor.

Slightly opened windows can do the same thing.
