False Alarm just after locking - ceebee - 13-11-2011 06:57pm
On numerous occasions I have had the alarm activate itself approx. 2 minutes after locking the car?
I have checked that the windows were all closed and have tried waiting 30 seconds or so just in case interior lights etc are causing a voltage drop etc....but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I have also made sure that i am not accidentally pressing the panic button on the key fob.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this happening as it is quite embarrassing when getting out of a cool car and then having the alarm go off!

Haven't had this happen, but starting to wonder if there is glitch with the fobs.
Today I run into a store to make a quick exchange and only grab the fob and my wallet. Touch the door handle so it would lock (confirm it locked since the mirrors folded). Returning to the car after 5 minutes and pull the door handle. Doesn't open. Press the unlock key. No response. Tried for several minutes pressing all buttons and pulling the handle nothing.
Return to the store to call Landrover assistnace (since my phone was locked in the car). Store employees were gracious enough to help me with opening the fob and getting the key after I got off the phone with Landrover since I couldn't figure it out alone
Any other "fob" stories?
If I take it to the dealer would they be able to tell what the issue was? Of course I have tried several time to reproduce the problem at home but no such luck.

There's a Special service message on Topix regarding 'Smart key not found' maybe related?
