Usually that happens because when you lock your car with your remote you have to unlock it with the remote again, soo if you lock it with your remote and try to open it with the key the alarm will turn on :/ it has happened to me and same as my truck, lock it with remote and try to unlock it with key the alarm will go on and it wont unlock. You have to get that new remote, have it programmed to your car and im sure it could solve your problem. Hope that helps a bit bud

the remote doesnt work at all if i hit the button on the inside of the door. to lock the doors before i close it and then unlock it with the key the horn and lights go off. usualy have to put the key in the ignition to stop it.

im thinking about gettin a viper alarm system installed

In the meantime, locking the car with the key (or the inside slide lock) instead of using the power locks will prevent the alarm from arming.
