The '04 and up are programmed similarly and the instructions is in the owner's manual normally in Chapter 2 which I would recommend reviewing. For example Mode 2 is RKE operation only with no key. Also, one of the modes, Mode 3? is total disable of the CTD.

Interesting. I didn't know you could program it like that to ignore the door unlock. Even so, shouldn't it disarm when you insert the key and start it??? None of my information says any of that nor have I ever ran into that issue when doing a remote starter.

Got my car back yesterday, A relay on the aftermarket alarm (viper) had fallen out. It was located up under the dash took the shop five days to figure it out they had to trace all the wires from the ign. Since the only code that came up was ign power.

Glad you got it back running!!! I personally dont like any aftermarket alarm systems for this reason. If I were you, I'd consider removing that stupid system completly and returning your car back stock. Especially since its now starting to get colder outside and it would sure suck to be stranded.

Well, I've seen plenty of horrors from OEM parts on vehicles. Everyone is always quick to dump on the aftermarket stuff. To me, it wasn't the alarm's fault but the installer. I can't imagine how a relay popped out because usually you have to use a screwdriver to pull them from their socket.
