My Integra car keys with alarm have been lost for over three days now. I have a spare key but the car is armed so when I went it, I can't start the damn thing and rearms itself again, and again. Any tips on easiest way to resolve this? I have to get the alarm to shut so I can program my other remote. I know, it was to lose it.

And for a good measure, my front tire is flat. I was going to change it but the alarm kept going and going as I try to jack it so the hell with that for now.

any good alarm will have a valet switch. what you do is unlock the door, trip the alarm, turn the accesories ignition on and push the valet switch. (instructions varies from alarm model). you might need to read your directions on yours

I recall reading about the valet switch. Thanks, I'll read my manual and try it when I get home. I've been taking the Path to work for 3 days straight now and I am getting bored of it.
You're the man. thanks

yeah it depends what alarm you have.. but pretty much any basic alarm should have a valet switch.. if its the normal kind.. then like the previous poster said.. just use your key to get into the car. turn ignition to on.. then press or flick valet switch (some are push switches.. other are toggle.. depends on brand of your alarm).. if you have a clifford with coded valet like i do.. then i hope that you know your code because its a plain view valet and you have to enter a special code (that you set, or the shop set.. factory i think is 123).. anyway if you have this type of alarm with a plain view valet where u have to enter a code.. dont go guessing because after a few wrong attempts it will block out input... but for most alarms it probably jsut has a hidden valet switch.. try that.. good luck

Thanks guys. I did what was posted. The only thing now is that I had to order a new remote, so I don't got an alarm right now. Looks like I'll be in driving the Path for another week.

do you kno what alarms model number? i might be able to see if my freind can get a replacement remote for you... if its one of the major makers (Clifford, Viper/Dei, Alpine, Ungo, etc.. ) he can prolly get it.. but another friend of mine asked if i could hook him up w/ a replacement for his Gargoyle (made by Crimestopper) and he couldnt get it.. you can also try contacting the maker of your alarm.. but that way your going to be paying full retail..

I need a remote for a Clifford ACE 300.
I haven't really checked prices yet but if you can get it to me at below retail, that would be awesome

GSRaCeRbOI

well ill have to ask my friend.. im not familiar with the Clifford Ace 300..
is it the Clifford remote thats black with 2 grey buttons labeled I and II?
or is it the remote that has a green circular button thats larger than the rest?
or is it like mine where it has 4 buttons on top surface (1 large, 3 small) and a shift button on the side?

anyway ill ask if he can get a remote for the Ace 300..

JL 74

Is that one. Thanks

GSRaCeRbOI

those run like $65 retail i think.. maybe $60.. not sure.. i asked me friend waiting for him to get back to me.. i'll get back to you asap...

if you dont mind leave me a IM or give me your email so we dont have to keep making posts in this thread.. when he gets back to me ill let you know..

btw where do you live? I live in So Cali.. so if your local maybe you can pick it up..

GSRaCeRbOI

oh Oopz.. just say that your from hayward (nor cal).. guess not then.. well when he gets back to me ill let you kno..


oh yeah do you have a case color preference? the ones i have for my own car are all the carbon fiber (fake) ones.. I know Clifford also makes these in the wood (fake), or a darkish grey with a green button....
