Power failure, eh? Hmmm, we did have a bit of a brownout last week, now that you mention it. Could that really mess with the anti-theft system on the Lexus? What exactly did you do to fix it on your Volvo?

Yeah, the power thing triggered it on the Volvo! Look, I tried messing about with it myself, but honestly, it was a rabbit hole. Eventually, I caved and took it to a workshop. Best 45€ I ever spent. They plugged it in, reset something, and bam, good as new. I'd say save yourself the headache and get it looked at professionally. Seriously, you'll thank me later.

Okay, cheers for the advice. Looks like a trip to the shop it is then. I'll post what they find. Recoding cost 45€. That solved the problem!

That sounds like an absolute nightmare! I had a similar thing happen with my old Volvo, completely different car I know, but the symptoms sound eerily familiar. The alarm would just randomly go off in the middle of the night, scared the living daylights out of the neighbors, and me if I'm honest. Did you have a power failure recently? 'Cause that screwed with mine for sure.
