sensitivity of the car alarm via ODB

[thatukguy_james]

Hi all

So for the last few weeks from heavy rain, my car alarm has been going off.

I even tested with locking car and putting a bucket of water over the car and it went off.

I have a OBD11 and looking around i see others have had the same problem.

I would like to turn the sensors down a bit via long coding or obd11

some people say Module 38 on audi vcds. any one done? guides?

 

thanks

Not got any guides on this. I'm surprised it's that sensitive! 

Any fault codes on any diagnostic checks at all?

Hi the only way is on VCDS that will also highlight any wonky motion sensors.

Steve,

just a update, a few weeks looking around and still cant seem to get a idea on how to turn it down

 

so far nothing has gone off for a while
