crunkjuice1 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well its been a fun day, Happy to buy the family a Chrysler town and country used go to work and come home look it over some more and when I open the hood BLAM!!! an alarm goes off and on the dash it says something like alarm set or something like that. Well we did not get a alarm key fob at all and feel the banana fingers from car lot poking my eyes. Now I am left wondering if I get an aftermarket alarm installed will it disable the factory alarm which I would like to do. Or do I go to the dealership and have them have there way with me lol? Thanks for advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fli_noize Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 You can put the key in the key key cylinder and turn it twice in the direction that unlocks the car. And a aftermarket remote starter or alarm could control the factory alarm. Quote Bone Stock 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunkjuice1 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Do you mean to disable the factory alarm put the key in driver side door and turn it to the left twice to disable alarm? I'm thinking it would be cheaper getting something like this installed http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_18470_Viper-350-Plus-P-N-3105V.html rather than going to dealership and getting charged more.

fli_noize Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Sorry for the late response haven't been on here for a bit. You could go that route, at least it would give you keyless entry as well as some added security. Without that the key in the door is the only way to control the factory alarm.

dereileak Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) most aftermarket alarms will have the ability to disable the factory alarm, but only temporary, all it does is pulse the alarm wires, there is one wire that turns it on, and one that turns it off in most vehicles, and the viper modules have a wire for each, being that its Chrysler, it may have one wire that uses resistors, but the same idea still, should take care of it, most of the time you have to meter the wire while turning the key in the door as that activates or deactivates the wires much of the time, so you don't set off factory alarm systems by using the key to get in your car when you lock the car with aftermarket it will arm factory alarm, and aftermarket when you unlock with aftermarket it will deactivate both, same with when you remote start, it will deactivate the factory so that it can start and not think its being stolen Good luck if you want remote start with it you could pick up a 5701 viper, http://www.gooddeals18.com/product/5202VB/Viper_5701_2_Way_Responder_Security_Remote_Start_System.html that site had them for like $90 not long ago, you could still contact them, if you can't put it in yourself installation will be the most expensive part of this, otherwise its really cheap, depending on your year you may need a bypass module also, but only if you do remote start Edited February 23, 2011 by dereileak Quote 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
