    Hi All. My 3rd Gen Prius’s alarm has started to go off randomly. Just this morning it went off unprovoked, just as I was going to grab the key fob from the key rack it turned itself off. I was told it went off yesterday as well when I wasn’t around so I unlocked the car so I could start researching this. Then it went off again. A quick search hasn’t found anything yet. It’s a 2010 top level ‘V‘ with both the Navigation and Advanced Technology packages in case this makes any difference to figuring this out. In the meantime is there a fuse or something I can pull to disable the alarm?
    Thank you for you help.
