Onone more thing...
this is probably even more annoying than the stopping and is related
as the alarm is problematic whenever I reset the battery to get going
again...
it's fresh on my mind as I had to run out to check the alarm now :(
the alarm is going off at random times for mibbe 10-30 seconds.
so it's parked out front, nobody tampering with it, and it's gone off
4 times today already.
sometimes it comes on when I'm driving - right before the car stops
