I don't know either but I had my keys in my pocket the other day and bent down while I was in the garage and the SOB went off!!
Scared the living **** out of me! 
One of the keys must have pushed it in far enough to set it off.

looks like a lot of us have done this and it does scare the heck outta you, i wonder if there is a option on the DIC that would allow you to turn it off like the sentinal lights?
Im going to check it and see.

I'm guilty too - have hit the panic button by accident several times.

so it's leave it alone or do surgery on the fob like WWK888 suggested in a earlier post.

I never set it off by accident, but really- with all of the false alarms we ignore today in parking lots and such, if there was really trouble would blinking lights and horns really scare anyone away?
