Car Alarms: Car Alarm, nissan xterra, valet mode

Question
Hi,
I dropped my 2003 Nissan Xterra off at the Nissan Dealer this morning to have a recall done. They soon called me and said that my alarm was going off and how do they fix it? I told them I dont know you are the dealer! Then they called back and said they got the alarm to stop but the car will not start now. I have a regular factory alarm nothing aftermarket. I have the keyless entry fob with me, they only have the actual car key at the dealership. They are now telling me that they are going to run a battery and alternator test? Please help! I think they dont know what they are doing!?

Answer
Ok, an installer would place the velet switch in a semi
hidden area. I'd look under the dash area
for a button or, a toggle switch. When you locate it,
turn on the ignition key, press and hold in the
button (little spring loaded micro button, red or
black possibly), 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.=VALET/OVERIDE

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
