When I bought my '12 Unlimited the dealer asked if I wanted to retain the factory alarm system. When I asked the obvious question "why wouldn't I?" he said that it was an option and it would cost me $600 to have the programming activated. This sounded like complete BS to me so I said not to worry about it, quite frankly I think he was not too happy about the deal I'd pushed him into and was likely trying to gouge something from me. I also figured I'd get an aftermarket system installed at some point.
I am curious though, there must be a way to 're-activate' the alarm? The hardware is supposedly all there and the red light flashes on the dash when the car is locked. The panic alarm works as well, but the alarm does not go off like it's supposed to when a door is opened after being locked with the key toggle.
I'm guessing someone out there has figured this out before, or can at least point me in the right direction. My Jeep has EVIC, power windows and door locks as well as remote start if that matters at all.
