    Ok folks (perhaps DanMan)

    I've tried "The Dance" to switch from passive to active alarm mode.

    I do NOT get the first answer-back and therefore can't complete this. Any suggestions?

    You have to be sure you do the first step quickly enough. Insert and remove the fob from the slot 3 times in five seconds. The rest of it, to the part of the first answerback has to be done in 40 seconds. Any wrong move and it's back to square 1.

    Thanks, Dan

    I'll go give it another shot. I'm picking up my boys this weekend and there will be unlimited opportunities for an eight and five year old to set off the alarm.

    HELP, Dan


    Tried again - no luck.

    Here's the setup

    I'm stitting in the car. Car is OFF, all doors are unlocked, driver's door is open (SKS switched on, or off either seems to fail)

    Insert/remove keyfob into it's home slot on dash (in/out/in/out/in/out) REAL fast - EASILY under five seconds (all of this while I'm sitting in the driver's seat

    Close driver's door (so now all doors are closed)

    Lock/unlock all doors three times with key fob (means double-click on unlock to get them all)

    Open driver's door, close driver's door

    flip lock button on driver's door (above handle) on/off three times
    (tried it with the armrest lock button after several failues with the 'manual lock' button - no change)

    Open driver's door

    NO ANSWER-BACK

    What in the heck am I doing wrong? YES this is a fairly complex dance but I've got three degrees and am a professor as well as the chairman of my department... These instructions are far from the most complex protocol that I've managed to follow.

    Any help you can provide would be appreciated, Dan (or anyone else!)

    Thanks,

    Terry
