Default No easy way to disable it... its part of the whole central locking system...

you could just disconnect the horn.

Default is it being activated by the motion sensors maybe? You can deactivate them in most cars...

Maybe you have something flying around in your car causing the alarm to go off.

What kind of car is it?

Default yeah happened to me too on the A4

really annoying. Check to make sure that all the windows are closed, trunk is closed, hood is closed, sunroof is COMPLETELY closed, gas door closed. I had like wind or something when something was open just a little. If you've programmed your windows/sunroof to go down with key becareful that you close it completely with the key.

Default Re: pull the fuse...or shoot the ghost:)

i tried to locate the fuse but couldn't find it. my ride is an 2001 a4. then i followed the instructions to deactivate the interior senser and it still went off. now i am forced to leave it unlocked sometimes, it blows.
