Hello all... Octavia mk3 (2018). How do I know if my alarm has gone off off? Every previous car I've owned has a light that flashes so you know if the alarm has gone off in my absence. Is there something similar on the octavia? Thank you all...

Hia... After some experimentation I found my problem. It was my iCar Pro plugged into the obd2 port. It turns itself of after about 30 seconds of car being turned off. It seems this is enough to trigger the alarm! After unplugging it, no more alarm going off. Tested it for about a week... Cheers Nigel

Hia, I have the octavia mk3 and about 30 seconds of locking the alarm goes off (not all the time,maybe 50 %) . I've noticed it only does this if I leave and lock the car straight away. If I get the toddler out and put shopping away it rarely goes off. If I open and lock the car again it generally doesn't go off again... It doesn't go off straight away and seems to be arming OK. What would cause this? Is there something I can check at home? Basically it's an intermittent fault with a small degree of consistent trend. Is there something that happens on the car in that first minute that could cause this like circuits shutting down or parts cooling? Any help or advice would be much appreciated and welcome 🙂 Cheers Nigel

Hia, just wondered if you ever resolved this? I have the octavia mk3 and about 30 seconds of locking the alarm goes off. I've noticed it only does this if I leave and lock the car straight away. If I get the toddler out and put shopping away it rarely goes off. If I open and lock the car again it generally doesn't go off again... Bit odd! Cheers Nigel
