Exclamation Car alarm

Hej,

I had weird situation with my car alarm at this night.
Car alarm has been trigged with no visible reason
I checked CCTV on my driveway and I didn't find any reason why alarm went off during middle of the night.
There wasn't any sort of things left in the car. Not even fly noticed inside only that was rainy night but all windows were closed.

Did you have similar situation?

Do you know maybe where V90 have alarm sensors and what exactly can trigged them?

Really like that App giving me notification but it will be so great to know what trigged it.

Mine did the same thing a few weeks ago while we were out at a restaurant (my partner drove and we left the Volvo at home).

Midway through the meal, the neighbourhood WhatsApp group told me that my alarm was going off (as did the VOC app). I remotely unlocked and locked the doors, but that didn't stop it.

When we got back, there was no indication of why the alarm went off. I made a note to ask Volvo about this when I next go in for a service.

I sent email to Volvo this morning and also I have to mention this next Thursday when I will bring my car for system update.
I went through all CCTV cameras and there was no sign of anything only rain but I won't believe that rain could cause that.

By the way when alarm went off I have noticed on cctv that mirrors indicators after few seconds started to flashing with different pace than rear ones
Have anyone noticed that too? I know on FB Volvo group it was post about it and i am not alone check yours pls

You didn't leave a phone or tablet in there with WiFi did you? That used to set off my S40.

Got answer from Volvo. They would like to book appointment with dealer to investigate that because alarm shouldn't went off just like that.

Fingers crossed that one only one off event if not i hope they'll find where the issue is

Yeah, the cause of the alarm should be in the computer somewhere. I'm in no hurry to get to my dealer just yet as the alarm only went off that one time.
