Again With the Craziness!

I turned the page to the alarm manual and I just had to share it with you.

Currently, our car is set to be actively set, meaning, we push the button and it beeps. If we choose to set the passive arming device, we have to follow these procedures:

1. Before you begin, open the driver's door. Close the remaining doors and the trunk or hatch. Unlock all doors with the inside lock switch. Remove the key from the ignition switch.

2. Insert and remove the key from the ignition key cylinder 3 times.

All of this must be completed within 5 seconds and the remaining steps have to be completed within 40 seconds.

3. Close the driver's door.

4. Lock and unlock all doors 3 times by key or remote control (this requires you to push your remote control lock button once and the unlock button twice to unlock all doors - this 8 freaking button pushes!).

5. Open and close the driver's door.

6. Lock, then unlock the driver's door inside lock button 3 times.

7. Open the driver's door.

8. The system locks the door in 2 seconds. If this does not happen, start over.

9. Unlock the driver's door knob.

10. Close and open the driver's door 3 times for a 0 second arming delay, 4 times for 15 seconds or 5 times for 30 seconds.

11. Lock then unlock the driver's door inside lock button 1 time.

12. The system locks the door in 2 seconds. If this does not happen, start over.

Programming is now complete.

Oh. My. God. I swear, I copied this procedure in its entirety, directly as it appeared in the manual. Can you imagine?! I told Cullen that when we do this, we need to make sure we video tape it. You know? For YOUR enjoyment!
