Alarm Malfunction

iX52020 · 03-03-2024, 12:10 AM

Just picked up our new 2024 X5 40i today, super stoked about it (pic attached). Can’t wait to get the tints on it. Rain was a bummer today.

However, it appears that the OEM sunshade is causing the alarm to go off when the car is parked.

Anyone else have this issue?

How would the sunshade trip the alarm?

Not the sunshade. Alarm went off all night long after I removed sunshade. Taking it back to dealership today to get it checked.

Super annoying, not even 24hours old.

Dropped the car off back at dealership and got a loaner. Fingers crossed no serious issues. Car is less than a day old.

All good now?

I wonder if it was operator error since a resolution wasn't posted to update the thread?

What do you have plugged into the OBDII port?

OP Update: There was an issue with the driver side rear door sensor which was tripping the alarm. The broken lock/sensor was making it seem as if the door was open thereby setting off the alarm. Our 1 day old car sat in the BMW service center for 4 days as they tried to determine the issue and fix.

Everything was fixed and no more issue. Phew.
