Alarm randomly goes off.
So yesterday at work my alarm randomly went off three times. Then today it randomly went off again.
The car is in plain view and no one was messing with it.
Anyone else experience this?

Randomly from nothing - no, mine doesn't do that.
Going off every single time a large truck or loud motorcycle passes by - yes. However, most times I park well away from active traffic so it's not been a big enough problem to motivate me to seek the adjustment under the dashboard (especially with a vicious rain/wind storm raging outside my window right now).

This happened to folks who had the "alarm shock sensor upgrade" installed.
Apparently, the sensor is not too good, and it can be adjusted only to oversensitive or not at all sensitive. I remember there was a thread talking about this.

I searched for "alarm sensor upgrade" and found the thread that tells me how to adjust it and I did and it has not spazzed out on me yet since doing it so hopefully that was it.

There is one that parks on the street where I work mot of the time when the street car goes by the alarm goes off. It's pretty funny, though. The street car drives past the physician parking lot and I happened to be outside the other day when the street car went by. I counted 14 different cars that had their alarms all start going off.

the factory alarm has a motion sensor? My alarm went off twice today. It woke me up I was pissed. This happened once before a few months ago. My car is completely stock and no one was messing with my car.
Mine's useless, but not that silly.

Check your key, there is a place on it that can trigger the alarm - if you sit on it or push it accidently the car will go off...
