Factory Alarm Questions... Looking for info
I'm trying to figure out some stuff to do with the Factory Alarm. I read in the Owners Manual that the Alarm can be armed and disarmed via the Drivers side door lock - does anyones work like that? For me it just locks and unlocks the door but does nothing with the alarm. If the alarm is set for example, and I unlock the car via drivers side door lock, and open the door, the alarm goes off, so it obv does not disarm the system.
Does anyone know what get's triggered when arming and disarming via the remote?
Long story short, I'm trying to fathom out some aftermarket stuff and I need to be able to Arm and Disarm the alarm as well as lock and unlock the doors. Now, I know the Door Lock pins on the GM5 Module, but I can't figure out how to go about arming and disarming. It looks like it's potentially a single wire on the GM5 - Pin 20 White/Black according to this http://www.commandocaralarms.com/wiring ... 4/304.html which according to the pin out for the middle plug on the GM5 is the driver side unlock signal.
What I need to be able to do is it LOCK & ARM the alarm via my own module and also UNLOCK & DISARM. Effectively replacing the Standard Key Remote with a different remote system.

If I lock the door with the key then the alarm doesn’t set. If I lock the car with the button the unlock it with the key the alarm goes off if I open the door.

Mine works just like the owners manual states. If I lock with the key in the door or with the key fob the alarm arms. If I unlock it with the key in the door or with the key fob the alarm disarms.

Interesting. I wonder if it’s something that should/could be coded.

Ah, mine is June 2003 UK spec. Mine does not function like bumpyz4’s appears to function so no telling if it’s a market thing, an age thing, or a model specific thing or even a coded thingRockhopper wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 6:56 pm Mine is October 2004.

Just to update this with a definitive answer - IT *IS* Codeable via Carly.
There is an option under GM5 to Arm/Disarm the alarm via 1) Unlock/Lock [Drivers side Lock] + Remote or 2) Remote Only.
This is now resolved. Thanks all
