Turn alarm off?

Joemac8 · 09-05-2019, 03:02 PM

I have a2 2019 X7 40i. I just took a trip with my two Labrador Retrievers in the back. I got out to pump gas the dogs moved and an alarm went off. How do I turn this off?(stop it from sounding when I leave the dogs behind)

Figured it out myself:

Avoiding unintentional alarms

General information

The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor can trigger an alarm, although no unauthorized action occurred.

Possible situations for an unwanted alarm:

In automatic vehicle washes.

In duplex garages.

During transport on trains carrying vehicles, at sea or on a trailer.

With animals in the vehicle.

When the vehicle is locked after start of fueling.

The tilt alarm sensor and the interior motion sensor can be switched off in such situations.

Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor

Press the button on the remote control within 10 seconds as soon as the vehicle is locked.

The indicator light lights up for approx. 2 seconds and then continues to flash.

The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor are switched off until the vehicle is locked again.

It's all documented. I do not know but it would be very handy if they add better communications skills to the "BMW Assistant" just like Alexa! I guess it would be very handy.

So we could query, "hey BMW activate the "Unintentional Alarm feature!"....wait...... I heard that Alexa is already integrated in the BMW App, isnt it? Has anyone used it?
