Alarm Randomly setting off

[Gillieeric]

Hi, my 2017 Q7 alarm randomly sets off. It’s been like this over a week and it’s driving me mad because I can’t solve the issue. The car battery seems strong and has never let me down ! I’ve looked all over internet for solutions, none seem to work.

has anyone experienced this and solved the issue? 
Thanks

Theres not a fly inside the car? 

Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? 

[Gillieeric]

Hi, no fly or anything on diagnostics?!  
Ive got it booked in with Audi on Monday but it’s driving me mad and I need a quicker solution. I’m paranoid about parking anywhere now, I’ve even developed alarm tinnitus ! 
Thanks for replying though

Is there a switch that allows you to lock the car without setting the alarm as a short term solution?

[Gillieeric]

Hi No there’s nothing there 🤷‍♀️

thanks though

That surprises me. I had such a switch in my 2007 A3 so I expected your modern car to be better equipped.

I know all the threads and videos on YT show the button on DS door, but no there’s only a red reflector light there !

That's very odd. I recall it was a long time before I found the switches in mine, (one for no alarm and one for leaving a pet inside,) because the handbook diagram was unclear. Unfortunately I don't now recall the exact location and I no longer have the car for reference. They may even have been on the near side door which of course would be the driver's door in Germany.
