Default Alarm problem.....
No matter what if I lock my car and the windows are down at all the alarm goes off within 5 mins.
Anyone have this problem, or know how to fix?

wind sets off sensors. If you have a Vagtool you can set the sensitivity down.

Default interior sensors go off when you leave the windows down...
you can de-sensitize them with a VAGtool.

Default You can also disarm the motion sensor by <more>
pressing the button on the A-Pillar -- it's to the left of your hip if you are sitting down. But it's hard to reach it like that. You gotta open the door, get out, turn-around, bend over, look in and do it.

The motion-sensor is armed the next time you start the engine. You gotta do it everytime.

He doesn't mean "go off" as in become deactivated. He means they set off the alarm.
