Remote/Cold Start on M8 Setting off Alarms
Has anyone else had this issue? I've had the car for 2 weeks now, have used remote start maybe 10 times, and on 3 occasions so far, it has set off the alarm on my X7 sitting about 4 feet away. It doesn't actually happen until the car lowers the idle after a minute or so, so I'm guessing it's just the lower frequency that's starting to rattle the glass a little too much in the X7.
On the previous two occasions I figured it was me fumbling the keys in my pocket or something, but today I used the app to start the car and the keys were a good 50+ feet away from the car and further from me, so not the case here. I had an M3 prior to the M8, and didn't have an issue, but the 8 is obviously going to be a throatier/lower note. Of course, the M3 didn't have remote start, just a cold manual start in a similar situation there, so I suppose the other possibility might be a radio signal interfering after the car starts up (thought that seems less likely). I find it more amusing than annoying, but was just wondering if I'm alone.
