Car Alarms: no remote, valet mode, acura tl

Question
I recently purchased a 1998 Acura TL.  The seller did not give me a remote and I just assumed there was no alarm system.  Several weeks later the alarm went off and I had to unlock the car and put the key in the ignition in order to shut off the alarm.

Is there a universal alarm remote that I can purchase so that I don't have to unlock the car any time the alarm goes off.

Thanks.

Answer
No no universal remote exsists.
It's best to put it into override mode, the remove, replace
the old system with a new one so you can
understand and control your security.

Better in the long run.

Right, Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area, usually to the left
of the leg, drilled into a plactic panel.
Might even be part of an on glass antenna
in the widshield if it's a remote starter,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm and allow you to
go on your way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.

That should do it.

Good luck.
