Lexus: Holy fuck my Ls400 has an alarm

Just because you didn't see anyone doesn't mean that someone didn't try
to get in your car and was frightened away by the alarm. Other
possibilities are wind (was it a windy night?) or someone brushed
against the car.

I don't know how to disable the alarm, but you might want to think twice
about doing that. I suppose that the owner's manual would say how to do
it, if the car was design to allow you to shut it off.

There is a common problem on these, AFAIK there is a module somewhere which
has a battery in it, the battery gets knackered and triggers false alarms,
the dealer fix is to remove the module and chuck it I believe. The guy that
told me of it is in UK.

"knackered"? Huh! WTF is knackered? Hahaha! If you don't want the alarm
to go off, why bother to set it when you leave the vehicle? Especially if
you live in a crime free rural area. <eg>

As I stated in the post, I had no idea the car even had an alarm..

My concern is this kinda thing will continue, i.e. when parked at the
store, or even in my locked garage. Kinduva nuisance.

Knackered is a quaint English term for worn out.

The alarm auto sets.

The alarm going off will run the battery of the car down.

Thanks for the warning, Mr. Vice President.

I used such foreign language as an honest indication of my thoughts at
that exact time. You can imagine my suprise, I'm certain. And you
seem to be joking, if the next line was any indication.

Any outwardly pious 'adults' who publicly condemn such bahavior
as untoward are just strutting, cock-of-the-walk style, in vain
attempts to seem humble and submissive to a higher power, when in
reality are too ethnocentric and self-absorbed to realize one human
speaking one word carries no such weight of sin, and, be it man
or child, no amount of dung-tossing or knuckle-scraping or
religous text-thumping will prove otherwise. To nutshell it,
Steve Larson can go make love to himself.
