Skoda Citigo Electric Anti Theft Alarm Issue

I'm having some trouble with the anti-theft alarm system in my 2020 Skoda Citigo (electric). I'm getting an error stored in the error memory, and the alarm system isn't working at all. Could it be a false alarm issue? I saw something about the system being coded to activate optical locking (indicators) causing problems. Anyone experienced anything like this?

Strange one! I had something similar with my Citigo. The alarm would randomly go off in the middle of the night. Really annoying. Did you check the alarm sensor? Is the immobilizer light flashing when it shouldn't?

By checking the alarm sensor I mean a diagnostic scan. It sounds like alarm system coding. Is it possible the alarm is configured in a way that conflicts with another module? I'd suggest getting it checked at a workshop. It’s better to be safe than sorry with anti-theft stuff, right?

Hmm, interesting. What exactly do you mean by checking the alarm sensor? And where would I even find it? Also, the immobilizer light seems normal, no unusual flashing there. Could it still be related to the alarm system coding even without the light acting up?

Took the Citigo to a local mechanic and they found the anti-theft system was coded to activate the optical locking (indicators) even though it shouldn't have been. They recoded it and everything seems to be working fine now. Cost me 45€. Thanks for the help!
