Alarm going off
When I use my key to unlock the doors, the alarm goes off. Anyone have similar issue and fix? it's annoying when the auto-locks don't work and I have to use the key.

Yeah that's the alarm. I believe if you lock it with the door lock and not the key it won't set. (don't quote me on that since I'm working on 2hrs of sleep and just got off work!)I'm sure there is a series of dances, key presses and honking of the vehicles horn that will disable it completely but I haven't found it.

If you lock the vehicle with either the (wireless) key fob or the electric door switch--and subsequently try to open the door with just the key--the alarm will go off every time. (At least that's the way my wife's '08 Chrysler works. I'm afraid to actually test this theory on the '11 JKU...lol.)
