    Hi Alan, I have had a few of these, but not on Audis, but I suspect they all work in the same way, The anti theft tilt sensor, is still vibrating when you slam the door and arm it, the alarm module stores this wrong reference, and subsequently once the sensor has stopped vibrating randomly in most cases brings on the alarm, you can positively diagnose this by switching off the interior tilt sensor, and monitoring over a period of time, the fix is to make sure the module is securely located, that the anti damper pad has not gone hard, and or replace the tilt sensor.

    Dependant on what equipment you have you can access alarm module to see what has tripped the alarm.


    All the best
