Car Alarms: Honda Odesy, honda odesy, valet mode

Question
QUESTION: The alarm has a mind of its own and will start beeping the horn and flashing the lights any time and any place. At first i thought it was the remote control and i was hitting the panic button, so i removed the battery and it continued to do it. Then i put a new battery and i thought i solved the problem because it did not do it for a while (a day or two) then it started up. I do not think it is getting any interference because it happened at home in New York then continued in North Carolina. I have tried not locking the door with the remote and using the key that did not help, i tried not locking it that did not work, i tried just hitting the lock button just once and that did not do it. I am staying at Hotels along the way and it gets very annoying to the other guests when the horn starts to beep. Is there a fuse i can pull or simple fix i can do, i sure do not want to go to the dealer with this problem because it is intermittent.

ANSWER: It's likely to be an after market system.

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

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. I'd leave it
this way for now until you can have it inspected.

The next step is to remove the alarm.
This might require a local technician to
identify it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.

QUESTION: It is a factory system on a 2002 honda Odesy

Answer
Hmmm, Ok, on the 05' + Odyssey's,
disabling the OEM system permanantly
will require some wire work.

But that's a bit of a problem here.
Because yours is a "FACTORY" or, OEM
(original Equipment Manufacturer) "alarm/security" system,
then the disabling procedure info for any given
specific vehicle is now deamed to be too sensitive to
publish here (as suggested by ALLEXPERTS administration.!).

So, to comply, as of March,22 08, this service is no longer
part of the volunteer information I can offer for free here at
ALLEXPERTS.com . Specific OEM/FACTORY alarm disarm/disabling
info is now available ONLY at the WIREWERX.

My installation wiring charts provide the proper wire colors,
polarities, and locations to install a keyless entry,
remote start or, car alarm system into any given vehicle,
or if just trying to disarm/disable your factory/OEM system,
there is a link there to get a tutourial on how to do it yourself
for only $2.99.

I hope you can appreciate the legal reasons behind not
providing this info any longer to just anyone who asks
for general consumption. By doing it this way, I'll
get a record of payment and a name/email address as
a stop gap to help prevent any unauthorized disabling of
your system or anyone elses, by a would be car thief!

Please go to the WIREWERX so I can get you the
info you require to fix your situation.

Good luck with this issue.
