I have a 2000 Camry I just had an alarm installed (Pacific Audio, Sacramento, CA - don't know what their rep is, I wouldn't rate them very good). It is an audiovox prestige APS510. I have a couple of problems with it, don't know if they are stupid things, maybe you people can help me out. First problem is when I get out of the car after I turn it off I grab the outside of the door to get out and I get a little snap of static every time. It's pretty annoying to say the least and possibly dangerous in the gas station. The second problem is that the manual clearly states I can activate the alarm silently by holding the trigger button down for 2 seconds and it doesn't work, just activates normally. I took it in and the manager said 'it's easy you just go like this" and tries it a few times, fiddles around under the dash for a minute, gets up and proclaims "This alarm doesn't have that feature" and says he can activate it either silent or toned, but no options. This seems kind of strange to me. I could live without the silent option (but would like to have it of course) but I can't have the static shock on a car I am planning on keeping for a long time. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks
