Car Alarms: disabling an after-market alarm, 1999 mitsubishi diamante, mitsubishi diamante


Question
I have a 1999 mitsubishi diamante with an after-market audiovox prestige alarm system.  This system has proved more troubling than helpful, and I would like to fully disable the alarm.  specifically, i want it to stop disabling the ignition, b/c i want to be able to use the car with the key only in the event that the remote dies.  any help would very much appreciated!!!

Answer
Ok, to start with,
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.

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

Then you can just remove it all together if it
bothers you.

Let me know how it goes.
