More issues :( alarm is going off more than it should ..s40
 
My 2009 s40 has developed an annoying habit the last few days of the alarm going off for no reason .. I've activated the reduced guard checked my battery voltage levels and it's still activating ..any ideas .?? I'm hoping it's not the alarm module

My dash cam has a wifi/gps setting on it .. I'm wondering would this be setting it off

Did the problem start after you fitted dash cam ?

If it's left on the alarm could be picking up on a voltage drop.
Time will tell

No the cam runs fir about 10 sec after shutdown but then again that 10 sec could be enough to trigger it

A WiFi device left in the car will set the alarm off so that will be it.
