Alarm goes off when I open the door wheather locked or unlocked

The alarm can't be disabled so you can either stop locking the car or buy a cheap sentry key on Amazon or eBay if you don't have the coin for the dealerships $169 key/fob. You'll still need a dealership to program it for you but you'll save money and your car will stop thinking you're stealing it every time you unlock it.
