My Viper Alarm started going off while I was driving. I pulled over, shut everything off. Got out of the car and closed the door and locking and unlocking the vehicle wouldn't shut the car off. I opened the hood and looked at the hood sensor and then shut the hood again and still nothing. Finally it shut off. I got in my car and continued on my way driving back home. It went off again. This happened over and again and there was nothing I could really do. I have a crazy eighteen hundred dollar alarm system that was installed by a professional shop. It just started doing this. I have two sirens in the engine compartment and two small mini piezo sirens inside the car. It was a very uncomfortable ride home, let me tell you! *sighs* I'm clueless to what the problem could be. I started thinking that what if someone hacked DEI and was triggering alarm systems all across the country? I have a small digital reader that tells me the voltage of my battery. It was at 12.1V and after driving for awhile with my stereo system off (because my alarm problem), I stopped at a gas station and saw that it went up to 14V. The battery is probably a little over a year old. Here is a run down of my car alarm system: Clifford by DEI 1way Security & remote start VIPER Smart-Start Bypass module 2 window modules for 4 doors. Glass break sensor proximity sensor (installed in center console and has been disconnected by me) tilt sensor Backup Battery Siren with Backup Battery Original Siren that came with Clifford Alarm 2 mini piezo sirens 1 Mercury switch for hood car is a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire SLK 4 door(imported into the U.S. from Canada) Car is in mint condition. Bought it last year with only 16000 miles. It has around 25k miles now. My remote start starts fine. From my remote and from my iPhone Viper app I can start my car, roll down windows, start vehicle, lock/unlock doors and pop trunk. Another weird that is that when my alarm has been triggering all those times, it never notified my smart start because normally I will get text messages and emails from DEI smart start notifying me that my vehicles alarm system has been activated. In my Viper app, I also got the details of the status of my car and everything checked out. I even used the GPS locator in the iphone viper app and it showed me the correct pin point status of my vehicle. I hope someone here can help me. I will call DEI first thing in the morning.

big aftermarket Car stereo drained viper alarm backup battery. main battery in engine compartment was also low (12V). should be 13.5v especially with all of the electronics i have equipped in my vehicle. 1400w amp pulls alone 150-200amps and stock alternator probably 115amps. plus a ridiculous viper alarm with a ton of added components 4 sirens 3 sensors backup battery 2 window models GPS indash pioneer two rear TVs four 6.5 focal k2 power krx2 two 12 inch Memphis audio subwoofers plus a crazy HID lighting system for low beams and fog lights. before experiencing this issue for the first time of my alarm going off (lights werent flashing) i was listening to my stereo turned up high for about a minute long with the engine off. later in the evening is when I had the alarm problems when I got back in my car and drove away. the car didnt have any starting problems and my gage lights or any of my lights don't have dimming problems either. again, it is believed that my backup battery that is hooked up directly to the alarm system actually drained. once I got back home, I activated my alarm by locking the doors and went inside to go to bed. the next day i called Directed Electronics and they advised me to get my AB/ALL Module for my remote start, flashed by the authorized dealer who installed everything. that morning i drove to the dealer without any problems with the alarm. it is believed that over night that the backup battery had enough time to charge. the dealer told me what I mentioned at the beginning of this message about my car being badly underpowered. I will need to invest into a bigger alternator plus a bigger battery like a Kineticks or however you spell it! the dealer also told me to go to autozone and have then test my battery and alternator. I went and battery tested at 14.2v and alt 14.4v both are fine.
the car had time to charge up the battery because i wasn't listening to my stereo much during this entire process.
I hope that my story here will help someone in the future. it's really strange how an alarm can do what it has done. I still don't fully understand it but there are a ton of electronics involved here. big aftermarket Car stereo drained viper alarm backup battery. main battery in engine compartment was also low (12V). should be 13.5v especially with all of the electronics i have equipped in my vehicle. 1400w amp pulls alone 150-200amps and stock alternator probably 115amps. plus a ridiculous viper alarm with a ton of added components 4 sirens 3 sensors backup battery 2 window models GPS indash pioneer two rear TVs four 6.5 focal k2 power krx2 two 12 inch Memphis audio subwoofers plus a crazy HID lighting system for low beams and fog lights. before experiencing this issue for the first time of my alarm going off (lights werent flashing) i was listening to my stereo turned up high for about a minute long with the engine off. later in the evening is when I had the alarm problems when I got back in my car and drove away. the car didnt have any starting problems and my gage lights or any of my lights don't have dimming problems either. again, it is believed that my backup battery that is hooked up directly to the alarm system actually drained. once I got back home, I activated my alarm by locking the doors and went inside to go to bed. the next day i called Directed Electronics and they advised me to get my AB/ALL Module for my remote start, flashed by the authorized dealer who installed everything. that morning i drove to the dealer without any problems with the alarm. it is believed that over night that the backup battery had enough time to charge. the dealer told me what I mentioned at the beginning of this message about my car being badly underpowered.
