Default Mopar EVS alarm system

I have a 2006 Dakota R/T with a dealer installed EVS alarm and the darn thing sounds off after I unlock the truck with the remote about every 10th time I arm it. Works most of the time but 1 in 10 it goes off for no apparent reason. This is the EVS 1 unit that uses the regular keyless entry key that came with my truck. I only bought the truck 2 weeks ago and they put the alarm in a week later. Anybody else having problems like this?

how do you lock it?
my sunfire flips if you don't lock/unlock the same way
you can't lock it from the door and unlock it with the remote or vice/versa without attracting a lot of attention

Good point, I lock & unlock in different ways at different times. As it is I dont have a clue as to what is wronge with it because it is a sporadic problem. I will try this and see if that is the thing setting it off "every once in a while".

No the dealer is not that close and it is such a pain to do that I wanted to have as much information as possible to give them when I do. I just know how this is going to go "back and forth to the dealership". I don't think they really know what they are doing there so after the first attempt I will probably tell them to yank the whole damned thing out and I will go after market.

Check this out, yesterday it went off while disarmed when I shut the small back door. The front door was still opened because I was loading groceries in it. It had been disarmed for several minutes but it seems like it was the motion sensor that set it off that time as I sort of slammed the back door to close it because it didn't close the first time I tried.

Good news is I got the Lojack and Lojack First Alert installed finally

I would say if they dont know what they are doing, and you cant get it resolved. go aftermarket. you will have to deal with the additional fob, but atleast it will work. I install directed electronics alarms. (viper, python, valet...) and we dont have many issues with bypassing the factory security. (the basic horn honk carp one from the factory)

I don't want another fob! Dealer got it resolved, works like a charm now and they threw in a tank of gas for my troubles.

any idea what they did? You could get away with one fob for aftermarket... but it wouldn't be the one you have now...

Dont know what they did but I think it was replace the main unit of the alarm. I didnt have time to talk when I picked it up.
