You know what? I don't think I'm going to get an answer to my question.

Well, huh: mine isn't working as advertised either. Off to the dealer

What was the flashing pattern of the alarm indicator light doing? It
takes some 30-45 seconds after locking the doors for the alarm to arm,
and the red LED to change pattern. (Pattern is listed in the owner's
manual.) Did you wait long enough for the alarm to arm, before trying
to open the door?

surprises!

Mike, you really need to find some other way to support your habit. :-)
