Default USB Bluetooth Adapter

I have a Wanjeed 6.0 USB Bluetooth adapter installed on a Lenovo P1 laptop. It will intermittently set off the alarm on my F-150. Has anybody else experienced this problem?

I've never heard of that before. What makes you think the laptop Bluetooth adapter is causing the alarm to go off? Usually that is caused by:
  1. An insect flying around inside the cab.
  2. A faulty hood ajar switch.
  3. A faulty door ajar switch.
  4. Wiring issues at the door connectors.
  5. Someone actually breaking into the truck

It only started doing it after installing the adapter, and the laptop in on. If the laptop is powered off, the alarm won't go off, or I uninstall the adapter.

I would try a different Bluetooth adapter. Goggling Wanjeed doesn't offer a lot of confidence in anything they are selling. They sell posters of cricket players! What real electronics company sells posters?
