Default Compustar 2Way alarm

Hi,

I got a compustar 2way alarm installed on tuesday from the great best buy!

everything work fine on it... maybe a little too much lol

i have a appointement on next wensday to check out my situation but would like to have your opinion.

1- when i arm it, and disarm and make couple query to see the status my dome light and radio goes on (dome light 15 sec i think and radio the factory time) that i can live with that... but after if i leave the car disarm the dash comes on and stay open until i re arm or put the key in the ignition. weird no?

2- the alarm have been triggerd many time... i tought the shock sensor was too high, but no after shutting off the sensor through my remote its getting me always false alarm like some one open my door (door triggered).

every +/- 30 min my car alarm ring for no reason. so for now i keep my alarm to valet mode like this i dont disturb all my neighbors.

did you guys see the second situation before?

i just hope if best buy dont find the problem they will refund me and take back their defective alarm.

Thanks
