Title: Is it possible to drive the car with the alarm disconnected?

Quick question,

Is it possible to drive the car temporally with the alarm disconnected?

Thanks.
Mike.

If you mean with the siren mounted in the frunk disconnected, then I believe so.
If you disconnect it, it will chirp for a few seconds and then fall silent.  Car still starts and drives, well mine did at the weekend anyway.

It should be ok to do this.  The alarm and the immobiliser are two separate systems, that's why you have to complete two programming steps to programme a new key to your car.
