Is there a way to just diso the factory alarm. My girlfriends alarm keeps acting up. And from what i've read the factory alarm is pretty much useless anyways. Is there a way to just unplug it, so that she can still unlock/lock her doors normally but with no alarm.

The alarm is the master of the car. You are its bitch.

I imagine that some crative splicing and jumpering of the wiring harnes could bypass it, but i've never known it to be done.

You can disconnect the alarm, but you will essentially knock out everything the alarm does, including the power locks and 'convienece close' using the key.
you might want to check why the alarm is acting up. 90% of the time one of the door harness wires in one of the doors is broken or pinched. Pull th rubber boots of each of them in the doorsills, and you'll probably find the culprit. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif Good luck

you can disconnect the alarm horn so you won't get a beep when you lock the doors, etc. technically, the alarm will still activate (little LED will flash) and the lights will flash when it goes off....but no noise...
from what i've heard, there is no way to take out the alarm. something about disconnecting it will kill the starter. (i think)

there has got to be a way. Although I'm in the middle of figuring it out and right now my engine doesn't start. So don't decide to cut stuff out even if you are sure it's not being used.

ok, A quick call to my hot roddin' buddy. Aparently if you run the red wire from the ignition switch to the red wire from the engine bay (it's a black connector and runs to the alarm) you can disconnect the alram all togehter. I haven't tried it but I did cut out all the door stuff, all the brown wires except pin 8 and the black wire. Car runs fine.
