I have keyless entry but no alarm. I asked the dealer about activating the factory alarm, they said it can't be done. They said some trucks came with the alarm and others didn't and if yours didn't come with it from the factory there is no way to turn it on.

Cool, atleast I know that it can't be done. Must've been mistaken before about the alarm going off, it must've been the panic button being pushed while in my pocket. I guess in the future I'll get one of those remote start/alarm systems.

I had the factory remote start added - thats when I asked the dealer about the alarm. It was still a no go on the alarm, said can't be done.

That is because the Remote Start and the Factory alarm are a package deal from the factory...at least that is the way it was with mine.

Yea I guess I got a better bargain, to add a Viper remote start/alarm would be around $500, to get 3.92's installed would be atleast 2x as much, so I'll stop crying.
