My factory alarm went crazy on me too, but only when i unlock the trunk. the alarm isnt disabled when i unlock the car from the trunk, so i just dont do that anymore.

Hmm... not sure how it's supposed to function in your year, but something seems wrong.

the car alarm also has a separate horn from the one you use on the road, i disconnected that horn, but the lights still flash.

Why? You've now disabled the most important part of the alarm. Do you have an aftermarket intstalled?

mostly id just like to thank you for mentioning that you can close the windows and roof with the key. ive driven this car for 6 years and never knew that. i thought that was only something that has recently been put in new cars.

That's funny. You can't imagine how many owners STILL don't know this.
Anyway, regarding aftermarket alarms, and after MUCH research, I've narrowed it down to 2. The Hornet 554t or the CompuStar 2WSS-AS. Both are 2 way pager alarms with keyless entry and remote start.
I like the Hornet because it is made by DEI, the largest and arguably best maker of alarm systems around and the pager tells you the internal temperature of the vehicle. The Compustar, though, has a range of 6000 feet using spread spectrum technology. If you are a self installer, the Hornet can be had for around $165 on ebay, while the Compustar can be had for around $250.
