Guest F14CRAZY Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Nice Reatta. Does it have an aftermarket alarm? I'm assuming it doesn't, but always a good thing to ask.Otherwise, Reattas came stock with a passive alarm system. If it goes off, put the key in the driver's door (can't remember if it works on the passenger side, but maybe) and turn it. Should turn off. The alarm will go off if you do something like lock the doors with either the power locks or remote and open a door from the inside (like locking someone in and them getting out).

Guest BUICKPOWER Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 IF YOU WANT IT TO GO OFF JUST PUT YOUR WINDOW DOWN GET OUT LOCK YOUR DOOR THEN REACH IN UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY AND OPEN DOOR THIS SHOULD SET IT OFF BUT NOT AT 3AM !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest F14CRAZY Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 My bad. If I understand it, you need to wait something like a minute for the alarm to actually arm (after locking the doors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 To set off, just lock the doors with the windows down and close it. Then reach inside & unlock & open door.To disarm unlock either door with the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
