VerifiedHi my name is ***** ***** I will be happy to assist with this today.In some cases I may need more info to assist better.I apologize for any delay.
Unfortunately the only way to turn off the factory alarm is with the remote being used to push unlock on it.In some cases inserting the key into the ignition and turning it on or starting corrects this fault as well but if this does not work and the key being used to lock and unlock the doors does not work then the remote is needed to disarm this here.In some cases all that is needed is battery replacement in the remote but in other cases the remote needs replaced and programmed.If you want the info on how to program a remote to your vehicle let me know here.
If more help is needed, use the reply tab to continue our conversation. If no further assistance is needed, kindly rate my service,your 5 star rating is appreciated.You can rate at any time and we can continue to work on your question as this will not close out your question.Keep in mind in some cases it can be difficult to fully diagnose or help repair your vehicle without seeing it and I work on delivering the best possible answer from what I see to work with.
Thanks Pete
