When setting the remote to lock the car, my alarm is sounding before I shut the door.

anytime you lock the door with the key fob or press the drivers door lock the alarm is on. if someone opens the door without the key the alarm will sound. test it by locking the door with the remote with the window down then after a min open door with the inside door handle by reaching in through window

If the passkey is messed up, there will be a light on the dash that says security, or have a picture of a car with a lock thru it. If there is no light when the key is turned forward, then its NOT a passkey problem.

The key lock on the driver's side door is mechanically linked to a switch that turns the alarm on and off. You don't need a remote. Locking the door with the key turns the alarm on. Unlocking turns it off. I think the remote actually works through the same switch by mechanically locking or unlocking the door.

I've had a problem with mine intermittently setting off a false alarm as soon as the alarm is armed, which is about a minute after locking the door. It seems to be a problem with a switch in the trunk lid, because opening and closing the trunk is the only thing which relates to the problem appearing or not.

So my workaround, if the alarm is screwing up and I'm in a hurry, is to get out and walk around to the passenger side, open the door, press the dashboard door lock control to lock the doors, then close the door. That locks the doors without turning on the alarm system. To get back in I just use the remote or the door key.

Disconnecting the car battery will reset the alarm system. When you first connect the car battery, the alarm will sound briefly, then stop. You will have to retrain the alarm system to recognize your remotes. The procedure for that varies from one year model to the other. On my 1998 you do it by putting the key in the door lock and holding it full counterclockwise until you hear a brief beep from the alarm horn. Then press a button on your remote and the system will learn to recognize that remote.

i have a 2002 vw cabrio and won't start after i took out the battery everbody is telling me that anti-theft is lock mode how do i rest it so i can start my car

sound like one of the door latch switches is faulty or the hood or trunk lid switches try the hood switch first thats the favourite suspect the security system thinks something is still open

With alarm activated your ignition is disabled.Find the combination to disable it.With GM's you hold opposing buttons on the fob till it beeps twice. The dealer should help for no charge.

there is no way to do that being that the factory alarm is controled by the BCM (body control module) your only option is to go to the dealer and buy two new remotes and have them set to the frequency of your vehicle.

two ways to do it if you have the owners maunual you can adjust the sensitivity with the remote and a certain sequance of key taps if u dont have that go under the hood and un hook the ground wire the sound will stop on the alarm siren still be able to use the key pad it just wont be loud and annoying any more
