Alarm going off after locking

As described... can only lock with the app, otherwise set off for no reason within a min of locking. No obd module or any mods. Ideas?

I had this once, it was because the bonnet (hood) was not closed completely - give that a go

Anyone have a problem with their headlights flashing after the car is turned off, I noticed while I was sitting at my desk after a few minutes of it being parked.

Yes, for past 2 years or so.....maybe since new. LOL. I just chose to ignore it! My car also seems to not be able to make up its mind on lights on or lights off in twilight. My light sensor ain't quite right LOL.

It's just part of the charm.

I have the similar problem on my M8 plus the trunk will pop up itself, my dealer fixed the problems for me, I will attach detail later.

Funny you mentioned after a hard run...

So this is anecdotal, but the two things that happened that day were: (1) went to the car wash and forgot to turn off the snow hold which made them push against it a couple times until I noticed (similar to being towed); and (2) did a really really hard run!

No idea.
