Car Alarms: Car Security System, car security system, valet mode


Question
Hi, my 1998 Toyota corolla has a security system when I bought it over a year ago. Basically it only starts when you open the car with an after market keyless remote, but if just open it with the actual key then the car won't start.  So it only starts when open button on the remote is pressed. I replaced the buttery but still not working and I have no way of starting the car. I am not sure how to fix the remote or disconnect the security system.  I need some information on how this is done and approximately how much it costs and who is able to do it.  Thanks in advance...

Answer
Ok, 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.
