DIY'd BMW alarm goes off on its own
Three years ago, I DIY'd a BMW full alarm system into my 2005 Z4. Recently, the alarm has been going off by itself. After a couple of minutes it will turn off and leave my directionals blinking. I'm still under warranty, but I'm pretty sure that if I have BMW service look at it, they will charge me because they didn't do the install. Any suggestions as to what I can look for to fix the faulty alarm, before I try to do battle with BMW? Thanks.

Yeah, got replies on other forums that it usually is the hood switch. So, I've disarmed that switch and have set the alarm. So far, after 24 hours, alarm has not gone off. I don't believe that disarming this switch will make a big difference in the car's sfety as I have another exterior motion detector that will go off if the car gets banged, trunk or hood opened and then closed. Sensor picks up undo vibrations.
