Alarm Goes Off

Just FYI guys

My alarm would go off randomly and it only happened when I was close to the car. Finally I figured it out as it is the OBD module trying to connect to app causing it. Easy fix is to just close the app and it won't happen. Don't need to take off the reader. Thx

Thank god you figured it out.. That has been driving me crazy. I thought it had something to do with Bluetooth since it always seemed to happen when my tablet or phone was left in the car. Never thought about the dongle.

I saw this issue when I plugged in the V1 Saavy module to power the radar when I first got the car....can't use that with the M5 (or other bmws' due to the port protection).
