Now, my cars alarm is wanting to occasionally go off in the middle of the night. ANy leads on what that is all about?

Only experience I have with this was a loose alarm ground on back of Bose head unit after I had it out. If I had to guess I'd guess bad door switch/bad wire in drivers door harness. If you end up wanting alarm unit/door switch/etc, let me know, I've got 2-3 in a box somewhere....good luck, Tom

How good is the battery ? If it loses juice, at night being cold, the alarm could feel a drop in voltage and may interpret it as an open door or so. Other than that, I don't know if the v8 has hood and trunk sensors, my 5 series did the same thing, and it turned out it was the hood sensor going bad. Disconnected it, and problem dissapeared.
