Mysterious noises, clicking, and lights flashing when parked

[Iron Fist]

My garage camera picks up motion several times a night of my MachE flashing lights, and clicking sounds like relays actuating.

any ideas for why? Is this a known problem or a minor annoyance?

How close are you to the car with your key fob? If you are walking in and out of range, the car my be responding with a walk up greeting. I have to keep my fob in a Faraday pouch when not in use to prevent that from happening to me.

And don’t forget if your phone is setup as a key it can do the same thing.

Something is waking up the car, are you using any sort of connected apps that poll the vehicle or send commands, such as for charging? Otherwise it's probably because your phone or fob is moving around inside the house near the vehicle.

The clicking noises are normal for when it gets woken up. So you will have to work on figuring out what's causing it to wake up. You should try disabling Bluetooth on your phone if you use PAAK.

Can they make these sounds when updates are applied, as they reboot?
