Car Alarms/Slience.

Question
The alarm on my car automatically sets 1-2 minutes after the ignition is turned off. Which is pretty darn irritating. My main problem is the horn/chirping when I press the unlock/lock button. I read that it could be silenced, but I don't know how. My grandfather's cousin got the alarm installed about 8-9 years ago, and she can't find the manual. It's a Prestige alarm. The alphanumbers on the back are APS2K4MS.

Answer
The "passive to active" feature setting procedure
would only be found in the manual for the alarm.

I don't know the system you have there, but try my forum
page at www.INSTALLSUPPORT.com to see in the search
bar if there might be a past thread on
it, and where to download a copy of the manual.

If nothing pops up in the search, ask my forum moderator Robert
to see if he has a line on it for you.

Then you can figure out the toglling procedure
to turn of the passive arming function.

Good hunting.
