i purchased an acura integra 98 and it has a viper alarm: model tx generation 2... its a two way alarm and everytime i go to lock the car, it locks however on the remote the lock icon dosnt lock... and after i press the lock button on the remote it makes a beeping noise and a little antenna looking thing shows up??? i think that my battery is going might that be the problem... thanks..

ok here's the deal, i work at mcdonalds every sunday there are alot of hispanic people around the flea market and i park my car where it sits everynight until my 9pm break and i then park it in front of the drive through, well this past sunday 20mins before my break; buisiness was slow but someone pulled into the drive through and had asked me if anyone owned the integra with the carbon fiber lip kit and rota rims, because 2 suspicious hispanic males are around the car and more in a jetta, i was like wtf?!? thats mine and i have a pager alarm with tilt, i then took my pager alarm thing and saw it didnt sense anything wrong ,i then go outside and they had sped off, I then pressed my alarm button but the alarm didn't make the sound that it disanged or engaged, i then go to the drivers door and saw my alarm light wasn't flashing and then i pulled on my door handle and it was unlocked! it took 5 minutes before my alarm started to work again, but the thieves already left their presence, they did no damage to the car watsoever but my guess is they were trying to take the whole car. now im left mind boggled about how they could've disengaged the alarm system, any body know how this happened and how i can prevent it from happening again?

If I install an alarm with a three point immobilization system. Does that make sense to add an immobilizer?

Hi there i was wondering if you could assist me with an issue it's really wierd. I originally had an one way autostart had it for 4 years just started to act up. What it started to do was the led started to come on, on its own while i'm driving. Later on the parking light flickers while i'm driving as well. So i figured it must be something wrong with the car alarm. So i picked up a new one. Command start the person set it up fine stop flickering and the light didn't come on instant while driving so i figure problem is solved. However driving alittle further distance needless to say the darn thing reappeared although the parking light didn't flicker anymore the led just kept flashing. Please help i don't know what to do?
