Help! Alarm issues
I have the factory-installed alarm on my 05 RX-8, and I'm hoping someone can help me out. Is there a manual on-off switch? Is it possible to turn the alarm off and keep it off until you want it on again? It's such a hassle to have the alarm sounding every couple of minutes at the car wash, and having it reset itself while I'm in the trunk, etc.!

I guess it's the motion sensor - it goes off when water hits it in the wash, when the trunk or hood is closed, when I'm wrenching / working on brakes, etc. Loud noises set it off, too (like bass). It is definitely not aftermarket.

I have a very similar problem. I park it and walk away and 80% of the time 10min later the alarm starts going off. Do you think it would be the battery dying, because it starts and I have never had to jump it. Where is this control **** exactly?

just adjust the sensitivity of the thing. It is in the pass fllorboard mounted around the blower motor. It has a **** top adjust it. Suppose to be adjust where it will go off only if a tennis ball dropped from 1 meter above the windsheild hits it. No less force should set it off. I adjusted mine this way and very very rarely does it go off with out being hit.
