Car Alarms: Lost alarm remote, valet service, dash area


Question
Well, I have a '95 Camry with an aftermarket alarm system. The system, however, chooses when it wants to work and when it doesn't. It does not control the locks, but if I do not hit the button before I try to turn the car on either the alarm goes off and won't start or it simply won't start. When I bought the car there was no info on the system, so I am not sure what kind of system it is. Recently, I have lost the remote clicker thing and am unable to use my car. Is there anyway I can disable the alarm without having the remote???

Answer
let's put it into valet/service mode.

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.

This solves the problem for now.

Then if you want to remove it, take it to a local
after market alarm dealer and have it done there.

They may even be able to reset/reprog. the features on
the alarm you have, to allow you to use the system
more comfortably, but of course, your call.

Have a nice evening.
