Federal law states that a manufacturer can not void a warranty unless they prove that a part or modification not performed by them caused the defect. So, if you install an aftermarket alarm and your electrical system goes to poop, they must provide evidence that your alarm was the cause of the problem.

The guy who had the car before me put in some cheap-a$$ alarm (that uses the factory remotes). I think the model / Brand is Excalibur by Omega. It's just about the most annoying thing on the planet and I'd take it out, but I don't want to mess with the wiring any more.

Why do you need the original? I have a Viper and it works the same. One button alarms/locks and disarms/unlocks, and the other opens the trunk.

I don't have the panic button strip, but think that if I hold down the arming button it will work the same.

Ok, Dave Z, it sounds like you would probably have an Excalibur AL-100 on your car and it is pretty cheap but the good news is that it can be removed quite easily without too much trouble I believe depending on how it was installed. The least being, you could disable it if you wanted.

The reason you use the factory remotes is because some people don
