If that is the case, I would trust those factory alarms about, well, none.
Alarms should be run by an algorithm, with constantly changing codes. To
steal you truck/car the way that factory system is set up is REAL easy. All
you have to do is clone the transmitter, just like a cell phone, and you're
in. I believe that alarms, like sound systems, should be left to the
aftermarket becuase of cost and quality.

p.s. I like to rev. my engine in parking lots to see how many alarms I can set
off. It's fun! Only found two at school that I can set off, though.
