No.

Find out whats setting it off then.  Likely candidates are bonnet switch (though tends to be more in hot weather) or ultrasonics (your manual tells you how to disable every time you leave car)...

As TheBoy said, the bonnet sensor is a common culprit.

Easy to confirm. Simply lift bonnet, reach to back and firmly tape down sensor Easy to spot....

If alarm stops going off, great.

If not, when you get out the car, press the little button above the headunit with a picture of a man running away. This disables the interior sensors (for when you have kids/dogs in a locked car).

Hi,  Don't know if this will help you, but I had a problem with my alarm going of when it felt like it.  kind of pissed the neighbours off a bit so I investigated.  Checked bonnet swith and that seemed ok, so after I had scratched my head a bit and smoked half a dozen fags, I started messing about with the sounders.  I discovered that the power sounder that looks like a horn was quite basic and not likely to cause the alarm to go off.  After a bit of research I learned about the auxilary sounder that is suppost to have it's own backup power supply for if the battery is disconected.  This seemed to not work correctly so I have unplugged both sounders and now the alarm doesn't go off when it feels like it.  I haven't yet got round to reconnecting the main sounder but i'm quite sure that when I do, there will be no problem.  Also need to get a new auxilary sounder.  I think it was this that was triggering the alarm.  Soory for been a bit long winded but hope the info helps.
