This may not be the answer you need, however it seems obvious that if you don't want the
alarm to sound, don't activate it in the first place.

I had a similar issue on 2 occasions. First was the my remote was low on battery and went haywire activating the alarm every once in a while. Replaced the batteries to fix it. The second was that a door switch was broken, resulting in a door open signal being sent to the computers and the alarm going off. To test of the second one, put the key in the ignition and close all the doors. A door open signal will appear in the dash lights if a door switch is broken. In my case, I was a bit broke at the time and just snipped the wires instead of finding a replacement switch. It could also be neither of these issues.

I may be mistaken but I believe that if you just push down the door locks instead of using the key to lock the car, it won't turn on the alarm system and therefore it can't go off. It's not exactly ideal but it's what I had to work with to avoid my neighbors killing me the various times my alarm kept going off.

OK. To lock the car without activating the alarm, just push the individual door locks down with your fingers.

There is a feature in the modules (SLCM) that include a 'LAST ALARM ACTIVATION' lookup.
WDS, IDS, SDD will be able to find the info in the setup and configuration area.
