Car Alarms: Car Alarm, Audiovox #PROOE4BS, valet mode, dash area


Question
My father tried to enter the car using the key instead of the key pad unlock button.  He got into the car, set the alarm off and was unable to start the vehicle because I guess the alarm was never disengaged. Is there a way to manually disengage the alarm in the event that this happens again? I read something about a valet/toggle switch under the dash.  Thanks

Answer
To try to disarm it,
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. Repeat steps to put into user
mode.

Let me know how it goes.
