Mini Roadster Anti Theft Alarm Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2014 Mini Roadster was experiencing an issue with its anti-theft alarm system, which was not functioning due to an error stored in the memory. The suspected cause was incorrect coding related to the optical locking (indicators). The suggested solution was to have the alarm system's coding checked and corrected at a workshop. After recoding, the system was restored to normal functionality.

I have not experienced any power failures recently. As far as I know, the alarm sensor has never been replaced. What would be the next step in troubleshooting this issue?

Given the information, it does seem the alarm system coding is the likely culprit. I would recommend taking it to a workshop to have the coding checked and corrected. They should be able to resolve it quickly. It is something I have seen before.

The workshop confirmed the error was due to the alarm system being incorrectly coded to activate the optical locking. They recoded it, and the system is functioning normally again. The total cost was 45€. Thank you for your assistance.

A false alarm could be triggered by a number of things. Have you recently experienced a power failure or any issues with the car's battery? Also, has the alarm sensor ever been replaced?
