Alarm HELP...

LOL...ok so how do I take my car alarm off if it goes off by accident?

It's happened twice to me already and none of the buttons on the key take it off. Starting the car with the key doesn't work either...

Help appreciated...

I think that all you have to do to turn off the alarm is use your key to unlock either the door or the trunk (key in the keyhole that is).Ootherwise, if you hit the unlock button or the trunk release button on your remote, that should also turn off the alarm unless your remote isn't working or low battery in the remote. The red panic button doesn't turn off the alarm.

Hope that this helped, I had to figure it out at 4AM when I had an early morning drive...woke up the neighborhood.

LoL ya mine happened twice while on a shoot and we were trying to not be noticed. I think I have tried the key thingy with the real key.

I will do a test on my car and see if that works. What happened with us was we were in the car then instead of pressing the unlock feature my friend unlocked the door and opened it and the alarm went crazy. I couldn't take it off so had to wait a good few minutes for it to go off.

Thanks a lot. It did work!! See I had tried the key in the ignition thinking that would make it go off and even tried starting the car & that didn't work. Thx for the help!

Happens eveytime when open a locked 8 from the inside.

Good thing the Aliens didn't notice you.

Or do you have a picture with them and your 8?

My only thought when mine went off at 4AM was to shut it off before every dog in the neighborhood started barking. Glad to be of help.
