Strange Electrical Occurence

[debonaire]

Hey all,

I recently switched my old Pioneer CD player for a newer model, and since then my alarm has been behaving strangely.

The alarm has a built in turbo timer. After I pull the key out, the alarm chirps and indicators flash when I shut the door for the first time (This didnt used to occur). If I then open the door and close it again it doesn't do it, but if I wait until the engine shuts off and then open the door and shut it, it chirps again the first time after the engine stops.

Also, sometimes when I disarm the alarm, the remote makes the noise indicating the car has unlocked but nothing happens at the car's end. Then a second later, the remote makes the noise it makes when you arm the alarm. Also sometimes the car does unlock but there is a fraction delay.

I don't know whether this could have something to do with wiring up the new stereo or just coincidence, any ideas on what might cause this sort of thing?

Is this a Viper alarm by any chance?

Strange Electrical Occurence, Boomerang Alarm

Its a Boomerang Alpha-2002.

One other thing I noticed last night is that if I push the arm/disarm button while the key is in and engine running, it actually locks/unlocks the doors which it didnt used to.
