Re: 2000 Firebird alarm

That is one of the features of the factory alarm. If the ignition key isn't put in to the ignition and turned to the "ON" position within 7 seconds of the door being opened via the door key, the alarm will sound. I do believe there is the option to turn this off in programming mode, you can find this in the alarm section of the owners manual. If you don't have access to a manual I can check for you and give you instructions. Otherwise to avoid this, use the remote to unlock the car, and you'll be set.
