I have a 2001 Allroad and have ongoing problems with the alarm system. To date the dealer has replaced the alarm system control module and the driver's door lock/alarm sensor under extended warranty. Despite their best efforts, the alarm goes off unexpectedly about 50% of the time. We can not lock the car at night for fear of disturbing the neighbours!

Dealer's last hope is that it is a fault in the motion sensors triggering the alarm. They are seeking guidance from Audi central before replacing that as well. Diagnostic computer tests have been inconclusive (various door triggers indicated as causing system activation).

Anyone else shed soem light on this??

Thanks

I had a similar problem with my A6 Avant and the dealer reprogrammed it to look like a saloon as the problem appeared to be with the rear side window sensors. They also changed the sensitivity settings, I left the car with them for a couple of days so that they could figure out what was happening.

I hope this helps.
