I'm not sure what does what or how that works. Mine doesn't do anything either. But I don't care. I sold car alarms for 13 years and quite frankly. They are not very effective. How may times have you driven through a parking lot and hear an alarm going off and even looked to see what car it is. If it goes off in the driveway in front of your house. Are you really going to run out in the middle of the night and confront who ever made it go off. Can you say, thief with gun goes bang. Screw it. That is why I have insurance. I don't even lock the thing at night. I just make sure their is nothing in it to tempt the idiot thieves. If the want in it? They're going to get in it. Sharp knife through rough will take care of that. As far as stealing it. Crap the ignition in the thing is so complicated. Good luck with that. I'm sure someone knows how. But they are way more likely to steal a Ford 150. Much more nondescript and easier to unload. The best way to prevent it from getting stolen is have someone put a kill switch on the fuel pump that is hidden.
My two cents on the subject.
