I had a similar problem a few years ago with my 300Z. It ended up being the hood pin switch was going bad and would trigger it intermittantly. Once I replaced the switch I was good to go.

open up your key fob and check the board. i see alot of ppl come in with corrosion, especially around this time of year. dropping keys in the snow, slush where salt sits and it will make its way into the fob housing. try and just pull your battery out of the keyfob for a little and see if it stops

My alarm sometimes goes off at odd times. I was able to pinpoint that is was when I left my map light on. I don't understand why, but it does.

Also make sure all the doors fully lock when you use the remote.
