: 7. In case I need to use the little black spare key to open/drive the car (say I lefted the master key somewhere), how the heck can I open the without triggering the alarm?
: Am I supposed to drive the car with the lights flashing for 30 minutes?

If the alarm is already armed and you need to use the wallet (small black plastic key) to gain entry into your car the alarm WILL sound when you open the door. Just insert the key into the iginition and turn to position 1 or 2 and the alarm will shut off.

Any key recognized by the on board computer will turn off the alarm when inserted into the ignition and turned.

You'll also find that if the alarm is armed, merely turning the key in the door to the first position to unlock will NOT. You must continue to turn the key to manually unlock the door. . .
