T-Mobile SynUp Drive

Got this new device from T-Mobile - SynUp Drive. Nice device, many options including WiFi on board, notifying you on all the problems with your vehicle, recalls etc.

There is one problem for me though. When I lock the car (X5 2014) the alarm goes on. I need to either unplug the device or wait for 5 minutes until car power shuts down. Called customer support and they told me to contact BMW. Will try to contact BMW but I guess I need to return the device. Called the manufacturer and they couldn't help either. Does anyone have it installed on BMW with no issues? Any ideas what causes the alarm goes on?

Thanks

The OBDII alarm problem... you can either keep plugging and unplugging until the alarm doesn't sound when you lock the car or code the car to disable the OBDII alarm.

Anyways this sounds like the Verizon Hum that came out a few months ago. I tried that, didn't seem that useful.

I wonder what's the purpose of the OBD alarm at all?

So people don't steal your car by hacking it via the OBD-II connection.

Anyone know how to code this? I looked at the cheat sheet but couldn't find anything about this.

Went to the dealer. They tested and told there was nothing wrong with any of the sensors. Funny thing is that I was given X3 loaner and it DIDIN'T have the same problem. Showed the dealer and they couldn't answer
