23' Supra MT - Alarm going off on 1st or 2nd Gear

[Musa_Hanzo]

Sounds like the car is in Anti theft mode. Try operating the car with an other set of keys you have including arm/disarm

You have any aftermarket dash cams or anything with "crash avoidance" things that are malfunctioning? Where the hell is the alarm coming from?

No none. everything is stock

 

[A91Tempest]

Anything plugged into the OBD port? Didn’t someone else recently find a plug and wire in their port?

I do not.

I thought you were crazy at first. I see what u mean after listening to the audio. Get that thing checked out! Most likely something aftermarket?

I do not.

Maybe try searching some Z4 forums. Unlikely to find anything but, what the hell, why not.

What aftermarket would they add on their though? it was straight from the dealership and the only thing i know they added was the SWAT security.

A quick Google search and that's the same company that makes the useless KARR aftermarket "Alarms". So they almost certainly installed some module in your car that is almost certainly causing this. I would insist they immediately remove it (The car has GPS tracking from the factory) and refund your money. At the very least, they need to "fix" it.

Just my $0.02

Well, the sales model they use is they sell directly to the dealerships and the units are installed as a "Dealership Option" before the cars are even sold. When you buy the car, they sell you the "add-on" and if you decline, they just deactivate the unit. But it's definitely NOT OEM and is almost certainly causing your "issue"

When I bought my Supra, I told the dealership that if they installed any of that bullshit, I was not taking the car. They are usually heavily "spliced" into the electrical system (at least the KARR systems are) so even if you decline the "add-on" and they disable the unit, the damage to the wiring harness is already done. The one that was installed in my wife's Prius malfunctioned and prevented the car from being started.

SMH. apparently they also put a clear bra on the hood.

Yeah, mine came with the PPF on the front of the hood. Not a dealbreaker for me. I can't recall if that's a dealer installed option or port installed, but that one is actually OEM like the carbon mirror covers or the rear mat.
