Hello,

my Alarm has some weird Sht going on (excuse my french)

RX8 04 MT my stock alarm goes off at nights only. (Or at least that is what I have noticed) which seems pretty awkward.

I sat from 8 pm to 11pm in front of a starbucks just watching it and nothing, so I went to my house, parked it and 15 min in, out of nowhere it just starts going off. So I got in the car and said to myself, let sit here and see wtf is going on. next thing it was 9:00am today and the alarm did not go off a single time.

and this is the regular alarm i am talking about, ( horn and headlights)

I do not have the key FOB I only have 1 valet key. ( I have no Idea how much would this cost me at the dealer any ideas)?

Or how can I disarm the alarm manually with the valet key? is there like a trick or something?


Thank you,

 

I've had similar issues with mine, though there's an aftermarket alarm installed as well.

I noticed if I locked the car by using the electronic switch from the inside, or by using the key from the outside, the stock alarm would go bananas. I got around this by manually flipping the lock on the inside of the door, which, I believe, doesn't activate the stock alarm. It's a tradeoff, but it's better than having someone smash your car in or otherwise vandalize it.

 

You sure there isn't something/someone triggering your panic alarm remotely?

Had a buddy that bought one of those garage door opener scanners that will jamb/force the code on garage doors....and he used to drive around and randomly open garage doors for a prank

 

Key = $50 + hour labor for programming (~$100)

Transmitter = 150
