2017 A6 Alarm keeps going off

[seepee]

My 2017 A6 2.0 UltraS keeps alarming on the drive by flashing the Indicators (but no siren or noise) for no reason and quite regularly (once or twice a day). I do press the button in the drivers door to disable interior monitoring but it still alarms randomly.

Funny thing is I park it at work right outside the entrance door / office window and it never goes off at work - only at home on the drive!

My 2016 S3 Cabriolet parked on the drive next to it never has any issues - anyone got any bright ideas as I'm really annoyed?

Take it back to Audi and let them investigate.

Thanks Chris it's already booked in I just wanted a feel if this was a common issue with A6's

Could be a door switch, corrosion, faulty. It will go off during the night then when you open and close the door to drive to work it’s worked the crap off so stays fine for most of the day.

Had the VW technician call into work and check it over. Tracked the fault to possible low battery voltage (doing 100+ miles a day so it should be good) so now booked in for a Recharge and current drain test at the Dealer. Technician disconnected the siren for now. Suspicion lies with the GPS telematics unit fitted (It's a Company Car) draining the current and the intelligent alarm goes off at a certain voltage thinking the power is cut.

Hi, has this been fixed by dealer ? What was the fault ? My Audi A6 2017 doing the same thing . Alarm went off 5 times in a week.
Thanks Surendra

I had this earlier in the year, 2 month old A6. Did it over a week, but hasn't done so since. Was during the summer, so put it down to a fly buzzing around maybe, but the battery voltage idea is interesting, but shouldn't be an issue as do 90 miles per day!

Thanks , I dropped mine at dealer as recommend by road side assistance, engineer told me that alarm triggered by siren module . Dealer still investigating.

Keep us updated, as when I ran mine through VCDS it also said alarm activated by siren module. I was hoping VCDS would provide more info, ie tell you exactly why - ultrasonic, low voltage etc, but it doesn't, well not in a way I could see or understand.

In at the dealer making them scratch their heads! Been in for a week and they are having to ask Germany for advice but no further yet ..... will keep you informed.
