Expert: INSTALLSUPPORT - 3/23/2008

Question
I lost my keys for my aurora and I went to the dealership to buy more, but they only gave me the keys not the key pad. So I had to break into my car. The alarm started going off and stopped after a few minutes. Now I cant get my car started without the damn alarm going off. Is there anyway I can stop the horn from honking and the lights from flashing so I can finally stop walking to work?

Answer
If your system is after market:

The Parking Lights Flash, A siren Is Going Off,
and You May Have A shock/impact sensor set too high.
Try The Following Procedure To Disarm/Disable It.

To start with, you can identify which after market
system you have by using the FCC. ID.# found
on the back of each remote. Try a site
like www.keynfob.com or remotes4you.com
to track down the one you have in your hand.

Now let's put the system into overide mode.

As far as the valet/overide button, it's a hidden
device-switch, a little spring loaded micro button,
red or black possibly and is probably down under
the dash area, near your knee/leg. In some
remote start/alarm combos, the antenna on the window
glass will also have an override/valet button.

When you locate the button or switch,
turn on the ignition key, press and hold
in the button until the alarm chirps 1 time.
This should over ride the system, and only the
keyless entry part, if installed, would still be
operating.

The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid. This is valet/overide/reset.
This should correct any issues like starter disable,
or anti-hijack. Your keyless entry, if installed,
will still be operable.

You would repeat the same steps to toggle
back into user mode.

That should do it for 90% of the after market alarms
out there.

If however it's a "FACTORY" or, OEM
(original Equipment Manufacturer) "alarm/security" system,
then the disabling procedure info for any given
specific vehicle is now considered to be too sensitive to
publish here (as suggested by ALLEXPERTS admin.!).

As of March,22 08, this service is no longer part
of the volunteer information I can offer for free here at
ALLEXPERTS.com . Specific OEM/FACTORY alarm disarm/disabling
info is now ONLY available as part of the WIREWERX installation
wiring charts we provide at www.WIRINGCHARTS.com , along with
the proper wire colors, polarities, and locations to install
a keyless entry, remote start or, car alarm system into any
given vehicle.

I hope you can appreciate the legal reasons behind not
providing this info any longer to just anyone who asks
for general consumption.

Please go to the WIREWERX so I can get you the
info you require to fix your situation.

Good luck with this issue.
