Alarm Issue - 2007 LE

[kaashifv]

Here is my issue....when windows are rolled down and someone unlocks the car through the window without the remote...should the alarm not go off? This is the factory alarm, and on ALL other cars I have seen with factory cars the alarm goes off....even the manual says that the alarm should go off if opened without the use of the remote...

Could there be something wrong with my alarm??

Well it is being opened from the inside so i don't see why the alarm would go off. hmm...

[PRINCESS PEACH]

nothings wrong...

Are you sure you aren't confusing the keyless entry with a factory installed alarm system???

Hmmm..well when i lock the car using the remote...it should activate the alarm, and would go off when the car is opened without the remote..should it not?

Does your car have an alarm, or just the factory installed keyless entry system? Keyless entry is not an alarm.

Hey I also have the factory keyless entry only set up. But when I lock the car, the light in the middle of the dashboard (security symbol) blinks. does any one elses? I always wondered if I had a factory security system (not on the bill of sale).

That indicates that the engine immobilizer is active. It's not to be confused with a security system. Good question though.

Ahh...ok, so I was getting it mixed up with the keyless entry system...damn..time to upgrade to a real alarm!
