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

huge thanks for these links guys :) just what I've been looking for!

It looks like the Car Audio Giants site doesn't ship international though, when I try to check out it's just US & Canada

Cheers Renzkuken! :)
