Car Alarms: 2002 rav 4 alarm problem, valet mode, dash area

Question
a month ago just after parking up the alarm went off, nothing would stop it. the fob & key wouldn't do it. breakdown recovery couldn't turn it off & had to disable the battery. the following morning once battery re-connected it went off again. dealership could find no problem. it's going off again and dealership have said I need to count the central consol red light to see how many times it flashes so they can determine the proble. but try doing that at midnight - the neighbours!! its been in the dealership 3 times now - whats wrong with the car!!!

Answer
Hmmm, might need to be evaluated by a tech to
trouble shoot the issue. Until then, to try to disarm it,
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
( if this is a remote starter, the antenna on the
front window glass may also have the over ride
button inset into it.)

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.
