Good day. I would like to know if its possible for a tracking device to interfere with the alarm, causing it to give false alarms. I've installed an alarm in my car about a month ago,everything worked well but after I installed a tracking device the alarm just started to go of by itself. Tried to do a false alarm memory report back a few times and it doesn't pic up anything. I once had a issue with a sonic head unit interfering with the alarms transmitting signal,I removed the head unit and the signal was perfect again.

Do it once,do it right - This means no short cuts. You never get paid twice for having to do the job twice because it wasn't done right the first time.

No unless the alarm is a primitive unit sensing voltage drop and the tracker is cheap and nasty and occasionally spiking.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.

Do you think I can put a diode inline with power feed of tracker charger and test?

Is it 3 wire? My guess would be a leak down the ignition circuit. Only need to diode that one. If it's voltage drop, dioding the 12V+ constant would make no difference.
