Question Acura Alarm system.

Does anybody ever faultily or on purpose activate your Acura alarm system? Then, the car's horn begins to sound twice per second and light is flashing as well...?

As Acura said, Locking the doors activates the security system, and if unauthorized entry is attempted, the alarm system will sound the horn and flash the headlights. A unique transponder embedded in the key, and only the matching key, can start the ignition. Attempts to hotwire, vandalize or bypass this security feature will result in immobilization of the ignition system.


Today, after parking my 04TL in the indoor garage for an hour this afternoon, I...

0:00 insert my key and twist twice to unlock all doors
0:03 open rear-left passenger door, then front-right, close RL and FR door.
0:20 open driver side door, close it.
0:40 start engine without problem
1:10 activate Navi
1:15 shift to R, back the car
1:25 turn on the headlight, shift to D, move forward
1:35 exit from the indoor garage, meanwhile, no matter my car moves or stops, my horn sounds as the security system activates and light flashes(but I don't know until pedestrians tell me.)
1:55 turn off the engine and restart again. Everything is ok now...

I just list each moment in this accident and want to know if anyone could help. This is first time my 04TL ever experiences this problem.

Wonder if this is normal or something wrong with my wire or system.

Thanks.

P.S. I don't have any additional alarm or any add-up electric devices on my car.

I'm confused-- first please clarify the typo "no matter my car" then explain: you didnt hear the horn sound until pedestrians told you?

"1:35 exit from the indoor garage, meanwhile, no matter my car moves or stops, my horn sounds as the security system activates and light flashes(but I don't know until pedestrians tell me.)

If you can’t say something constructive or offer information... Not all of us speak perfect English and never make typo’s

I understood it and I'm sure most people did. And why would you call "no matter my car" a typo and not a phrase? And you were confused "to' rets post? Sorry I'm being a crummy creep mope again. If I offended you I apologize, I must have taken it the wrong way.

Exclamation

Hi, Hot girl with 6MT, I remember you.

Sorry for this confusion, my fault. No one gets hurts here.

I meant my car horned when I was in stop or moving, and it just horned like someone triggers my security system. Meanwhile, my car was flashing lights, too. I was aware of this problem until someone told me my car was roaring... (I just wondered who's damn car kept horning.)

:facelick:



After posting, 5 mins later, I got no right to edit whatever I wrote wrongly.

This might just be a tiny issue, I could live with it. It may only happens once... Not the big deal...

But, if I post, there may be a chance that someone knows the answer better than my stupid Acura dealer.

Right on both counts. Sorry about that, but I am nervous about my EL-42s (never mind, that's another story).
