Car Alarms: 05 Civic dx factory alarm, replacement remotes, fcc id


Question
I am so annoyed with my car alarm! It recently started setting itself. Close the door and in 25 seconds or so it chirps on. So if I sit in the car with the car off and don't start it, the alarm will arm and I have to disable it. This wouldn't be so bad if had keyless entry, but my locks are manual, so I have to chirp the alarm off and unlock the doors with the key. How do I return the alarm to a manual setting mode or disable it completely? Some forums suggested removing the fuse, but I don't know which one.

Answer
Ok, "factory alarms" do NOT set themselves after 25 seconds,
or have a siren that "chirps."

Each after market alarm is different. The best way
to determine what you have is to go to a site that
identifies and sells replacement remotes like
www.KEYNFOB.com , use the FCC ID # on the back of the
remote.

Once you know the manufacturere, look up the web site,
and try to download the manual for it. In the manual,
you should find the procedure to change the feature settings,
like last door arming (passive) to "active" arming when
YOU must arm it for it to work. Then locate the shock sensor
and turn it down or, off.

Also, to place it into "OVERRIDE", locate the under dash
valet button or, switch. Then put the key in, turn to
the on position, just before cranking and press in
and hold the button until you get a response from the
siren. This should be override. Leave it this way until you get
some solid info on what you have in there.

Let me know what you figure out.
