My car alarm

[renzkuken1]

I have a steelmate car alarm with a remote, it talks japanese to me ocassionaly when i unlock it it will lock itself after 1 minute or there abouts and chirp at me in japanese. Atm my remote batter went dead and the charger in the car wasn't charging it this time :/ so my car alarm would not stop going off and i couldnt unlock it properly....so i had to unground the alarm under my bonnet. All i wanted to do was go get lunch and the car thought it wasnt unlocked so the hazard lights were on the whole drive as if the alarm was activated..how can i fix this problem?

Also i want to reconfigure my remote for remote engine start, how do i do this? It's set up on the car just no the remote.

Fml nothing but problems since i've owned it ;( I still love it though aha

btw now we all know how to steal your car haha just unground ya battery and take the hazard fuse or something out.

What's wrong with steel mate? EVERZYTHING atm except it yelling in japanese is kinda cool

How much for a good new car alarm that closes windows when locks and has remote engine start / boot hatch etc.

remote starts illegal dont let the cops catch ya using it lol i had it on my old alarm on my corolla the guy who instaled it wouldnt wire it up ( you prob dont want to put remote start on a manual though ) could end badly if you leave it in gear
