There are a few reasons why the alarm is going off. If you could please go into detail on what happens before the alarm goes off, I can try to diagnose this from the owner's manual.

I look forward to your reply.

did you buy the aftermarket alarm from the dealer? about a week after buying the car my alarm would go off almost everynight at random times. the first time I freaked out thinking someone was breaking in but after it did it a couple times I knew something was wrong. I took it to the dealer and I guess the shock sensors were set to sensitive so they adjusted it and never happened again.

i think thats what it is, but i got my car in cali, and im in kansas right now do you think they will fix it out here

I am not to sure but it's worth a try... they actually have a alarm company that comes in to install them and I know they are not all the same. I would think any place that installs car alarms should be able to help you out and if anything it shouldn't cost you to much.

I bought the AM1 upgrade, and my alarm often goes off when UNLOCKING the car - after using Remote Start. It happens a couple of seconds after pressing Unlock (whether I press it once or twice). Oddly, it doesn't happen every time. Maybe it's the speed in which I press Unlock the second time? I'll have to experiment a bit more...

When not using Remote Start, the alarm doesn't go off when I Unlock it. I don't get it. I want to play with it a bit more before taking it in for a repair. The main reason I haven't taken it in yet is because it doesn't happen every time, so I'm not sure if they will be able to reproduce the issue. I'm trying to notice a pattern as to what is making it happen, but it's difficult...

Is anyone familiar with this at all??? Other than this issue, I really like the alarm upgrade.

I am sorry to hear this. Have you been able to get a proper diagnosis by your local dealership? Please let me know if they were able to get this issue resolved for you.

i called the local dealership and they said they dont work on aftermarket alarm systems, so not i dont really know what else to do, and i cant really find the number for KARR either.

[caligrown562]

Apparently, my alarm module was defective. He replaced it and this problem doesn't happen anymore. They replaced it with a newer version of the same model (this one requires a handheld device to be plugged into it to change the sensitivity, whereas the old one had a dial). This one seems to be working perfectly.
