Stock Alarm question

[SupraSonica]

Is there anything that would set off the stock alarm besides unlocking the doors from the inside? Like if someone was to hit my car would that set it off? My aftermarket alarm just crapped out on me and now I'm just depending on my stock alarm but it suddenly went off for no reason.

Nope.

With the stock alarm if someone uses a slim jim or other tool will that set off the alarm?

I'm trying to figure out just how "secure" my car is.

yes, slim jims would do it

with your alarm set, unlocking the door WITHOUT the key will set it off. the sensor for this is clipped to the tumbler itself and is internally actuated by your key. if the tumbler is NOT turned, the system will not disarm.

Hood, doors and hatch will set it off.
