Default Open with key and alarm goes off

Ok guys and gals if you read the post just made in the DIY section i just finally got the stock keyless entry installed in. Everything is working great and im really really happy. But i noticed something, when iunlock the door with my key and then open it the alarm goes off until i put my key in the igntion or hit the unlock button on my fob. It dosen't go off if i open it with the fob just if i unlock the doors with my key and not the fob. Thanks for any help

My 1991 does it too. It's just the way the alarm is hooked up. Most, if not all, alarms are set up this way. I have the GM Goodwrench VSS-3200 in mine because I like having all the factory parts over aftermarket.

Seems like the factory alarm has somehow lost its association with the door switches which would tell it to disarm...

Thats how my aftermarket system is. Thats to prevent someone picking the lock or forcing the door. I didnt think factory systems worked that way though.

The factory keyless systems on my dad's explorer, my mom's oldsmobile will disarm the factory alarm with the key in the door.

I do have to ask...why go get the keyless put in, to end up still using your key to get in the door?
