Is there any known way of tweaking the sensitivity of the D8 alarm? I dunno what's causing the alarm to keep going off all the time - I've tried rocking the car violently and pushing down on the roof to set it off which hasn't worked, but I'm getting fed up of having to go out and push the button to shut off the ultrasonic sensors when I hear the wind pick up

If the ultrasonics are setting it off in the wind, have you tried closing all the vents.
Also check all the windows are properly shut.

Yep, as neil says, try hitting 'recirc' just before you stop and leave the car.

He can't fix it either. Says something about them not being squishy enough...

Now my alarm keeps going off, when it's really windy
I've turned off the ultra sonics for now
