2wss-as on a 2004 Honda Accord 2door.  Problem is that it works fine after I plug the battery in for like an hour.  But after a while the alarm goes nuts. 

1st case was when I left it on my driveway for four hours, remote start it from inside.  Car starts but is honking and beeping like crazy.  Came outside and kept on pressing on "I" button on my pager remote.  Car unlock and lock to me pressing on the button but the sirens kept on going off.  The worst part was that my installer/friend hook it up the the car horn for added volume.  Pull out 3 of the fuses to disable the alarm, until friend install a kill switch for the alarm.  Left it on and set it overnight with everything working fine, next morning siren and honk blaring the entire neighborhood up with my remote start. 

Is it the brain?? Sorry for the long story. What should I do?

When the alarm is triggered, are you remote starting it or it just goes off by itself ?

Ok I remote start it and it went off, probaly sense the shock or something from the engine.  I let it turn it siren off in 30 seconds. then press disarm to unlock the doors, open the door then it goes off again.

One time while driving I accidentally press some buttons on the remote and heard the alarm chirp to arm itself.  I was like what the hell.

Sounds like the ignition wire wasn't connected and also there is a programmable function on the remote that will unlock and disarm the OEM alarm system, start the car, then relock /arm the doors. This is a great feature to use if you do not have a OEM disarm wire and the OEM alarm can only be disarmed via the remote FOB.

Get your buddy to program this feature in for you and this will solve the alarm going off during remote start. Now the other problem with the Compustar going off after you disarm it. Are you making sure that the OEM security system is disarmed properly ? You need to disarm this before entering the car and from what I know ( correct me if I'm wrong ) the OEM alarm can not be disarmed by unlocking the doors, rather the DISARM wire in the door module must see a (-) trigger.

Thanks alot I think you covered alot.  My honda factory alarm was automatically back to work when I pulled the fuses from the compustar alarm.  So I should pull the plug on factory alarm all together?

You can, but most of the time you can just piggyback the OEM using the Compustar ( that's what I do ) and then you retain both systems and they work together very well. I normally do this to all vehicles that I install into. If you pull the plug on the OEM security, you may get an error light on the dash, not sure but see what happens. If something goes wrong witht he fuse pulled, bring it back to your buddy to get it properly installed so that the Compustar unit piggybacks the OEM alarm system. Good Luck
