awhile back a friend of mine setoff my alarm after i let him drive it, he couldnt figure out how to stop it so i had to come out and figure it out myself. It was the 1st time the alarm had ever been triggered so i wasnt too sure about it myself. Long story short, i tried the remote and it wouldnt work, i tired unlocking the doors using the key and it wouldnt work. I had to put the key in the ignition and turn on the engine before the alarm finally stopped. I should test this again.
