    I need to scan an 04 R32 and find out why the alarm likes to go off even when the car is locked away in a garage. Anyone around that can help?

    If the alarm is going off, even with the doors / hatch / hood shut, you know you have microswitch problem.
    Good news is, it's only in four possible locations: hood, driver door, passenger door or the hatch.

    Also, when the car sits for a while and the battery drops below a certain voltage, the alarm is first to activate thinking the car is being tampered with.
