Had original radio replaced-no problems until I bought new battery and now can not key in alarm code. Assume tech bypassed something. Each time I attempt to start car, alarm sounds. Any ideas?

Lock your door and hold the key in that position, and then turn it the other way and hold it until they roll up, this should set the alarm back. If that doesnt work try replacing the radio with the stock one, your third option is to bypass the alarm module.

SOURCE: 2000 VW Passat won't start/car alarm goes off/stuck in anti-theft

My car, 2000VWPassat, is doing exactly the same thing as of Wednesday April 7, 2010. The dealer has been looking at it for 6 hours and they said they have absolutely no clue what is happening. They are elevating it to an "engineer".

SOURCE: my 1999 jetta remote has stopped working.

you should be able to turn off alarm via key in drivers door if not test all doors to make sure they unlock. if any door will not lock that door latch will need replaced if work ok then try disarming alarm from trunk key or from the passanger door. if that works,you may need to have the key recoded to the car.

2004 Ford Mustang. The alarm goes off when key hits 'On' position, won't start, anti theft light blinking, any pointers?

Better to buy a Battery Charger than a new battery. If it is 6 years old, fair enough, but they are so easy to charge with a 6 amp or 10 amp charger.

You need a key fob and you need all the spare keys pairing. Call a mobile auto electrician. His pro grade scan tool computer will diagnose any problems and code all the keys. If any of those keys are within 10 feet of the ignition lock, and incorrectly coded they are going to confuse the system.

I assume the factory alarm was somehow bypassed when they installed the remote start is there a way I can make the factory alarm work when the doors are opened without key,?

To arm content theft alarm.
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
SECURITY light should flash.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the SECURITY light goes off.

If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.

97 monte carlo, 3.1, turns over but won't start. Actually changed out starter, then battery. At some point ThefLoc light came on and digital reading says "LOC". Could this be an alarm...

I have a 1996 monte carlo in my shop,and the costomer lose the key with the chip ,the dealership has to cut and reprogram a key. the alarm can not be bypassed. the LOC you see is for the radio,and you need a code to unlook it.Did you change the starter and battery because it would not start. if a car cranks but not start that is not a start or battery. there is 3 things a car needs to start gas ,air and spark. do you know if you have any of them

I have a 1996 jetta 1.8 with a factory alarm and i put in a new radio when i put battery back on after radio was installed the alarm kept on going off and i cant disarm it with remote button or when i try...

You alarm system monitor the radio. You basically disabled the vehicle when you removed the radio. You will need the original radio with the radio code and install it back. Your driver door lock is what turns it off and what turns it on. You have a 1996 Jetta find a electrical auto repair who is willing to do this (I do this all the time) Disable the alarm first get rid of the horn there is only on on the outer drivers side the alarm horn will have to be cut. From there acces the fuse box under the driver dash find the starter relay and bypass it. There your done no alarm and you can put any radio on .

Key not working

That is FALSE. The radio has nothing to do with charging the keys battery. Some key batterys can be replace others get recharge through the key holder. Your Im pretty sure it can be replace, if not then more than likely you need a new battery or a new key. They are common to fail after several years.

2005 hyundai elantra

The Radio is a True Statement. It will need a Lockout Code installed to bypass the Theft Deterent. On the Remote, The light will still flash But, It could still need a Battery anyway if the Battery has just enough Power to Turn the Light on and not Enough to send the Code to the Vehicle to Perform the Desired Actions.
