I have a Clifford Alarm, Cyber 3.

So what happened was my key fob ran out of batteries so i went to get a replacement. After putting it in the car was unresponsive to the remote (I made sure the battery was put in the right way). I was able to drive but was unable to remote lock/unlock or activate my alarm. So i figured..try taking out the wires to the alarms computer. Put them back in, the alarm goes off...remote continues to be of no use...so i try taking out the negative terminal of my car battery figuring it would reset my alarm system and i'd be good to go...just my luck..it activated my immobilizer and now i can't even start the car. Every time i open the door, the alarm goes off for about a cycle.

I tried the manual instructions found at: (Click Me)
Went through the "User selectable features" on pg. 13....no luck

Anyone here can help me with this? My car is a sitting duck in a not so great neighborhood =(
(on the brighter side, at least if someone tries to steal it, they will have no luck haha)

you have to add the remote to your car alarm and erase all remotes from your car alarm.

One of the great features of DEI alarms are when you remove the battery terminal from your alarm, you automatically set the car into "armed" state.

look at page 13/14 of the manual you linked.
