sounds a little bizarre. I know there are electronic devices out there that can read your unlock code from the fob.

The best possible help you will get is when you get your point across ... communication is a two way street and the problem could be at my end.

Give your dealership service dept a call. Have both (all) keys available as the procedure may require you to insert and remove the keys one at a time.

The alarm will sound when a locked (armed) door is opened from inside or the hood is tampered with (again in armed position). IMHO the security system is pretty lame.

My alarm system is a bit weird. Whenever I disconnect my battery, I have to reset the security system. Or else, the alarm will go off at random times.

To reset the alarm system:
I insert the key fob (with buttons) into the door lock on drivers side, then the master key (with no buttons). Then I open the drivers door, insert the key fob (with buttons) into the ignition, and without turning it remove the key fob, and insert the master key (with no buttons).

I couldn't find these instructions anywhere, they weren't in the factory repair manual. But, my uncle knew this trick and was able to help me out. I created a thread about this at some point, not sure if I ever posted my solution though.
