Answer
OK but, not a factory system on your's though.

I know this cuz "factory alarms" do not have sirens.

Also a "tell" here that it's after market,
is do you see the flashing LED? Well, after market alarms
use makes them too.

Try to locate the over ride switcy under the dash
and then follow this:

KEY IN AND IN THE ON POSITION JUST BEFORE CRANKING,
PRESS AND HOLD IN VALET SWITCH/BUTTON UNTIL YOU
GET A CHIRP FROM THE SIREN, AND MAYBE A FLASH OF THE LIGHTS.
KEY OFF.

This procedure would let you toggle into and out of
override on most alarms.

Let me know if it does with yours too.

service mode you were in prior to use.)
