I need some help… BADLY! I purchased the following:
Compustar FT-7200S-CONT
Compustar RF-2WG9 Remote Kit
iDatalink Blade TB
I then had it professionally installed into a 2009 Mazda 3 GT (automatic transmission with no smart key). Everything has been great with the exception of a couple of times. Once in a blue moon it seems like the panic alarm goes off when a door or truck gets opened. Previously I’ve had the factory key fob laying around and pressing the unlock button on it stops the alarm.
Fast forward to today. I’m now away on a trip and the car is doing this panic thing every single time a door is opened. I have no clue what’s going on and I don’t have the factory key fob to press the unlock button on. I have pressed the unlock on the new compustar one and it does nothing. I’ve also tried starting the car and pressing the lock/unlock button in the actual car but neither stops it. It will stop after about 10-15 seconds, but will immediately start again if a door is opened.
The battery did die on the car about a month ago, but it was fine up until now. I can’t get it to stop. Is there some combination or key presses or something I need to do? Any ideas what could be wrong? I have done some reading, but most people say it is a hood pin issue or maybe the battery is pooched. No clue.
I’m lost here guys. Is there any way to turn off this “alarm” or whatever has been activated? Thanks!

If you have the Owners Manual with you, read pages 3-28 & 3-29.  It appears that a full alarm trigger will get the horn beeping for

3 minutes.  You scenario is only 15 seconds.  There is no way to permanently disable the alarm ( like in Subaru's ) shown but using
the key to unlock the door should stop/prevent the alarm.

Might be a Mazda Factory Alarm problem, but you might bring it back to the Compustar installer first to verify his connection

to the cars Disarm wire are OK and the 15 second horn beeps are not coming from the Compustar.

Soldering is fun!

Kreg is right. The oem alarm is acting up because its not disarming correctly. place a key into the drivers door key hole, and turning to unlock will shut the alarm off. You can also place the key in the ignition and start it.

When he was installing the remote start, he said I didn't have a factory alarm. It was working fine for a while... Weird it would start acting up now. Hmm... I'll have to ask him when I get back home, but I'll try the key in the driver's side door. I know starting the ignition didn't turn it off the panic though.

a mazda 3 GT is considered the "loaded" trim level in canada. You must have a factory alarm.
