Default WOW! the alarm is LOUD!

Last night, I came home really late...I must have pushed the alarm button on the fob twice, as the "panic mode" alarm went off. If you have never heard it, it is a mix of many sounds. Alarm, chirping, laser gun blasts. flashing lights... and is extremely loud.

When the panic alarm is set off, the only way to stop it is to get in the car and turn the key...it took me a minute as I assumed pushing the fob button would stop it. It did not.

My neighbors hate me now. haha

I remember mine went off when my niece was playing with my keys. That was the first time I ever heard it and it was at 9 o'clock. I didn't even know how to turn it off but I just put the key in the ignition out of panic LOL. I almost ran my damn self and it's my own car!

in the video, he is not setting off the panic alarm...
to set it off, you need to press the "headlights" button on the fob 2-3 times.

to shut it off, you need to get in the car and turn the key...
