    2007 Ion 3 "Theft-Deterrent"

    I have found the "theft-deterrent" alarm to be a major nuisance.
    It is very easy to set it off accidentally ( e.g. arm it with the FOB
    then unlock the door with the key). This will get you evil looks and
    unkind words if it happens in the church parking lot.

    I asked my dealer to "disarm the alarms" and got "it can't be
    done". I had the exact same problem with a 2001 Ford Escape and the
    dealer did indeed disarm the alarms at my request.

    Is GM engineering 6 years behind Ford or am I being stonewalled by my
    dealer?

    Has anyone out there had their alarms "disarmed"?

    The owners manual is incomplete in this area. On page 98 of the manual
    it states "it can be programmed to three different modes" , then it
    describes only two modes. What is the third?

    Unkind words and evil looks in the church parking lot? So many things
    come to mind but I think you said it all right there.
