Random alarm going off 2003 Camry ACV36R

Been meaning to post this for a while but a recent incident reminded me of the issue.
The built-in car alarm goes off at apparently random places and times.
However after joining the dots it appears that it is caused by strong electromagnetic radiation (EMF).
During a recent trip to Bribie Island the car was parked underneath a disused water tower that now serves as transmission tower for council and mobile phone antennas.
Other know spots where the alarm is guaranteed to go off is at a friend's place behind an Energex substation and two shopping centres with medical imaging services.

The tripping of the alarm does not cause a fault code to be displayed on the Multifunction Display.
The incidents do not appear to be frequency related but pure EMF force triggering the alarm circuit.

My simple solution is to open the bonnet and disable the horn by pulling the electrical connector off it.
Don't forget to reconnect when you leave!
