hahaha, I didn't mean where the alarm brain was mounted, but the prox sensor. 
Personally, I'm not technical enough to disarm an alarm that way, but Interpid makes a good point about trust. We all know each other here so it's pretty cool. But mainly I asked because the location of the prox sensor could also trigger false alarms. Any number of things could lead a prox sensor to go off. I find that on a hot summer day, if you had the ac on and when you park in the sun, the alarm might go off from the temp difference. I don't understand this because most prox work like a radar and not an infared sensor. OO well beats me, I think your best bet is to bring it back to your installer and have them check it out.
