My money is on the movement sensor located in the middle of the headlining, this often fails and just sets off the alarm for no apparent reason. Connecting to Vida will tell you what sensor set off the alarm for at least the last 10 occasions.
A temporary solution is unclip the sensor and disconnect the wiring, you will get an "alarm fault" on the dash every time you start the car but just clear it, hopefully the alarm will no longer randomly sound.
I bought one off ebay for £15 and it works OK.
If the alarm still sounds with the movement sensor disconnected I'm afraid it is another fault, best of luck.
