hey guys its me again, i have an alarm question. when i baught my car they gave me an keychain alarm clicker. the one that i have has two buttons the red LED light then under that is a button and under that is anohter button. i know that the top button controls the alarm/disarm. also i konw that holding the top button sets off the panic alarm. but the bottom of the two buttons i dont have a clue what it does. i tired holding it the bottom one and nothing happens (just the red light shows up). does anyone have an idea what the other one does, if so thanks much.

it could be anything or nothing at all. it totally depends on what the installer hooked up on the receiving end of your alarm. since you have tried pressing it different ways with no reactions, then chances are it doesn't do anything. if you want, u can check your alarm box and see if there is an AUX wire that isnt connected to anything. hook it up to a multimeter and press your 2nd remote button. if the needle jumps then you have a winner. next you need to find out if it stays charged until you press the button a second time, or if it returns to zero. you can really do anything you want from hooking it up to a trunk release to turning on lights or radio or popping open a door.

If it's a Toyota brand clicker, then I know what that bottom button is for. I've posted the manual for our alarm system on this site (in one of my posts) and it says that button is used to allow you to program another car to it. Basically you could just set it up so that button works on your car as well (just follow the instructions for programming a remote in that guide).

I made my bottom button turn on and off my lights Although bdweber3 is making it sound like its an aftermarket alarm... in which case its pretty hard to tell if it would do anything without knowing how it was programmed.
