I believe the person that mentioned that the alarm sets itself w/out
locking the doors is right, at least as far as my car is concerned.
This is the thing though, how you can verify that a passive alarm has
been installed in your car, as opposed to an active alarm?
Especially since you can still open the doors since it doesn't seem to
lock the doors for you, how do you test it?
Thank You.
