08 stock alarm issue...

I know when you arm the alarm it beeps the horn once. Lately when I have been arming it, it beeps the normal one time then right after the horn beep it beeps twice. When it does this, it just locks the doors no alarm. Kinda like "valet" mode. It only does this every once in a while....not all the time. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a 2006 F350 with a stock alarm. My alarm behaves the same as 08Lariat250. I am starting to wonder if it actually works. At the time (Dec 05') this feature cost me $550. In addition to 08Lariat250 question, I cant figure out how to arm the alarm using the door keypad. It appears to lock the door, but I cant tell if it its armed. Any thoughts? did the alarm system changed from 05 to an 08?
thanks.

After arming the alarm with the keypad, wait about 30 seconds and you should see the blinkers flash. This is the arming of the alarm siletly. Of course, your '06 may be a little different.

As for the key pod, the first time you press the button it locks the doors, if you press it again immediately it will arm the alarm and honk, otherwise like above, it will wait 30 seconds then arm the alarm silently.

That's how it's supposed to perform. Mine has performed this way since the day I picked it up from the dealer. I've actually sat in the truck and pressed the button and waited until it armed itself. If I opened the door, or turned the key in the ignition or anything else, it would set off the alarm. So I know it does work on mine.

As for 08Lariats issue, it sounds like something wonky is going on. Have you taken it in to the dealer to look at? Try and test it as I describe above and see what happens. If it doesn't go off, then you definitely have something wonky going on.

I got the Karr add-on factory alarm on my '09, it didn't come with anything like an owners manual. I took mine to a remote parking lot and just played with it to see what it did.
