Q: To disable alarm permanently

asked by on October 04, 2016

Hi I lost my alarm remote and and when I try to open my car with the keys the alarm starts and I can't do anything to it please help me

My car has 97000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

Hey there, sorry to hear about this issue. Since the key itself is not working, there is likely a fault with the alarm system. If the alarm is a factory alarm then it will need to be repaired by the dealer. If it is an aftermarket alarm system, then have a mechanic come and remove the alarm and arrange the wires back to factory.
