2005 Saturn Ion Redline Door Lock Relays

Ok the next question that i have is, How do you arm/disarm the factory alarm? all the wire diagram charts that i have looked at say that it can only be armed/disarmed from the factory remote. shouldn't there be a arm/disarm wire(s) some where on the BCM?

I'm afrad your info is correct, I don't know the answer except disarm the factory alarm and then don't use the factory remote.

what are the advantages and disadvantages of  arming the factory alarm anyways? itsn't the aftermarket alarm just as effective?

If the factory alarm does nothing, turn it off before you start and ignore it.

factory alarm is only controlled by factory remote as its internal to the bcm/keyless entry setup, if you had locked the doors and lost or broken the remote when you open your door alarm will trigger and will disarm when a correctly coded key is inserted in to the ign and turned on, so theres no way to arm the factory alarm without the factory remote, you could disarm it without the remote by using relays to momentarily pulse the ignition and the bypass, but since you cant arm it without the remote theres no reason to need to do this
