Car Alarms: Alarm system, valet mode, prestige alarm


Question
I have a Platinum Prestige alarm system in my car.  The guy I bought it from disarmed the system because he was sick of hearing it.  I just took my car in to get it fixed and they had to take out the battery.  That reset the alarm system and now it is going off every time i try and open the door using my own key.  How would I go about disarming it like he did before I had it?

Answer
Hmmm,ok, an installer would place the valet switch in a semi
hidden area. I'd 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.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
