does anybody know if the alarm can be removed while still being able to use the remote to unlock and lock the doors? If not how do you remove the alarm, I live in northern MN and have no worries about it getting ripped off. And it really bugs the hell out of me. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.....Have a good one.........

The alarm is how the remote communicates with the car so no remote doorlocks if you take it out. Sorry, I have no experience with 2nd gen alarms besides that knowledge (location, wiring, etc. )

i repeat doinks question...whats wrong with the alarm ?? i actually used to hate mine cuz when i got the truck it was set to automatically arm itself every time you turned off the ignition...once i figured out how to get rid of that its great

If you hit your valet switch, the alarm will not arm, but you still have full function of your remote.

Your valet switch is likely on your drivers side kick panel. Friend of mine's was behind his alarm's LED.

actually, the alarm is still armed when you hit the valet switch, it just doesnt honk everytime it locks or unlocks.

Thats odd, because on my 2 aftermarket and 1 factory alarm i've had, the valet switch prevents the alarm from arming.

When my remote went out on my silencer alarm, and I locked the doors by hand, the system would arm, and when I would use the key to unlock it, it would go off.
So I hit the valet switch, my LED turned solid, and my alarm didn't arm or go off.

crazy, maybe mine is just rediculous. cause, on mine, it just shuts off the horn whenever i lock it or unlock it. the alarm is still on
