Default Car alarm goes off every 20 minuten

Dear people,
the alarm on my XK8 has recently been activated every 20 minutes.
Even if I close the doors and don't close the doors.
What can cause this problem?
Please help because I get more and more arguments with my neighbors.

Welcome to the Forums.

OOPS.

I have no answer, but the battery integrity, or lack of, is the root cause of weird and wonderful electrical moments.

The members in the XK8 (X100) Tech Section, down the home page a tad further, will have many more suggestions.

Good luck.

Welcome. If the XK-8 is anything like the S-type of the same era (and I believe it is...), when the rechargeable battery within the alarm unit begins to fail, it exhibits this annoying behavior. Suitable replacement alarm units are available on eBay...
