Disable factory alarm on T&C?

Question

Hey all.I just picked up, last night, a 1999 T&C Limited. The previous owner can'tfind the key fobs just now, although she knows she has them.Is there a way to disable the factory alarm until I get those? It would betremendously annoying to have to run downstairs and out to the car in myskivies to turn the alarm off with the key if I have a false trip for anyreason.What are the chances of this, is the alarm only tripped if a door is openedwithout a key and not just if a local kid pulls the door handle or hits itwith a soccer ball?Any advice would be great!

OK cool. That's what i was hoping. Although I did trip it when I opened therear hatche tonight, but the manual says that a key in any cyclinder shoulddisable it . Another problem for another time perhaps.On a related note, am I going to have to go to the dealer to get Key fobsprogrammed if the previous owner doesn't find hem? In my previous, 1993, T&Cthere was a wire I shorted behind the glove compartment that allowed me toprogram a new remote myself. Do you, or anyone else, know if a similarprogramming method exists on the 99 if I got fobs on eBay or similar?> View this thread:>

In your case since you don't have a single key fob you will have to have thedealer program them with the DRB scan tool. There is no wire to ground asyour earlier vehicle had.Glenn BeasleyChrysler Tech

Yeah sorry I should have mentioned, I already did that. I mentions programming Fob - to - FOB but nothing about FOB-Less. I was hoping, as there often is, some backdoor trick to avoid the dealer and their $100 FOBS.
