The car stops listening after 120 hours...

Does this happen only if the car is armed? What do you have to do to make the car listen again or better yet whats the best thing to do to make sure that this will never happen? TIA!

Hi,

No, it will occur if the Alarm is activated or not, it's a power-saving feature. All you need do is start the car and the cycle begins all over again. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Drive your car more or it will punish you in other ways too!
