Car Alarms: K-9 ALARM, automatic door locks, valet mode


Question
5 yrs ago i had a K-9 alarm installed on my 05 KIA Sportage. A couple of yrs ago, the remotes stopped working. yes, i changed the batteries. then the alarm stopped working. then the automatic door locks stopped working..(doors locked when car was put in gear) and now my interior lights won't come on when the doors are opened. The KIA dealer told that the alarm was an "after market" alarm.(not installed by KIA) The guy that installed it has since gone out of business..guess we know why..anyways. i would really like to just disconnect the alarm before anything else goes wrong.
Can you tell me how to do this?

Answer
Ok, To start, 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. The next step is to
either remove the alarm or, try to identify,
and get new remotes for it. To get the notes
for removing it, go to www.wirewerx.com .

But once in Valet mode, it will allow the car
to start and operate like there was no alarm at all.

Let me know how it goes.
