Car Alarms: 2007 Toyota Corolla car alarm, 2007 toyota corolla, remote keyless entry


Question
I just purchased a 2007 Toyota Corolla.  The car alarm goes off everytime I open the door or open the trunk.  It is set up for remote keyless entry and security, but I do not have the remote yet (it is on order).  Also, the security light in the car is constantly flashing.  Is there a way to disable the security or an easier way than waiting for the alarm to go off before putting my key in the door and locking it to turn it off?  It would be nice to be able to get in and out of my vehicle without having the alarm going off everytime.  Thanks.

Answer
Sure, 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 when the remotes arrive, repeat the steps
to go back to armable mode.

Good luck with it.
