Hey all, I just purchased a 2019 G05 xdrive and I absolutely love it, but does anyone know what this alarm is? I've started getting it literally everytime I drive, and there's no rhyme or reason to it. I've gotten it in moderate traffic, in an empty parking lot, and I recently just got it when the car wasn't even on and I opened the trunk. It's driving me nuts! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edited to add: also nothing appears on the HUD, Dashboard, no lights come on the steering wheel. It’s almost just like an alert for the sake of alerts.

Maybe theft/panic alarm?

Hmmm maybe? I doubt it though, I haven’t had any issues with comfort access or with unlocking the car at all. This issue seems to occur whether the keys are in my pocket or in the cup holder too.

Long shot here. May be an ECU cooling fan bearing in the dash. See if it occurs with car unlocked, keys in the house.

do you happen to have an OBD2 reader plugged in constantly?

Yeah it occurs in that scenario. It's gone off when the car hasn't been turned on and I've just been putting my gym bag in the trunk. I turned off all the collision and driver safety systems and it still goes off so it's not related to like collision alarms malfunctioning or something.

How would I even diagnose the ECU fan?
