[QUOTE="jarance, post: 345574, member: 21"] 1. I need to manually lock my car using key. If i use the remote, sometime the alarm will triggered on its own. however, i can unlock my car using the remote [COLOR="Blue"]If you have to use your key to lock without triggering the alarm, then there is possibility that one of the "door lock sensor" or "boot lock sensor" is NOT giving the lock signal to the GM5 module that it is locked. Manually locking the doors via the key does not activate the alarm.[/COLOR] --if the alarm trigger, usually it will be a few minutes after i locked the car, not immediately after i lock the car. and sometime when park the car by the road side, if got any car, lorry passing by, then it will trigger [COLOR="Blue"]Your car may have shock or proximity sensor. It might be too sensitive. I know mine have cos I also got the alarm trigger once when I was working outside and near the car when the alarm was armed. [/COLOR] 2. sometime, when i use the "LOCK" button to unlock all 4 doors, it will do nothing and got some "click" sound. Pres 2,3 time then ok. [COLOR="Blue"]This problem could be due to the remote key not properly sync to your GM5 module or your battery is not charging properly.[/COLOR] -FYI, the "lock" button that i'm reffering to is the one at the gear console... [COLOR="Blue"]OIC, In that case, you have open the door manually when you have problem opening your car earlier via your remote. The GM5 module did not release the deadbolt lock. Hence you cannot open your door from the inside "OPEN/LOCK" button near the gear console. You will need to pull the door handle twice in order to open your door. If I am not mistaken, only your door can be open and NOT the passenger door. Please see post #61. item 3 & 4. [B]A bit embarrassing when people have to climb out the driver side to get in/out. [/B] [/COLOR] 3. sometime when i unlock my car using the remote, all 4 doors will be unlocked...but most of the time press 1 time, only drivers side will unlock, press 2nd the remaining will unlock. [COLOR="Blue"]This problem could be due to the remote key not properly sync to your GM5 module or your battery is not charging properly. [/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]Try to resyn your key. Unfortunately, the battery have to be changed if it is not charging properly. To confirm that it is your key problem rather than the GM5 module, try to use your SPARE key after you have charge it. [/COLOR] i did sync my key for few times d. when ever after sync, it works perfect. however, after few days, then it will become pening back,he will try to start using my spare key n see... [/QUOTE]
