Towing...will alarm go off?

[mccullionj]

So I'll be towing the Denali on a trailer cross country. When I get it on the trailer and lock the doors with the key fob will the factory alarm go off while towing? If so, what actions can I take to keep the truck locked but not have the alarm going off?

the Denali itself will be on the trailer?

or the Denali is pulling a trailer?

I doubt the factory alarm will go off. I believe it only goes off if someone opens the door after you arm the alarm they dont have shock sensors or tilt sensors which will activate If towed an alarm is set

With ignition on and doors closed use the power lock switch in your door to lock everything. Then manual unlock that one door and open it while the others stay locked. Turn off ignition. Get out manually lock door and close it. That locks everything while bypassing the the alarm arming in most vehicles unless you have an auto arming system. Assuming your alarm does not have motion, shock or tilt sensors installed.

He stated it's a factory alarm I never seen a factory alarm come with shock sensor,audio, or tilt sensors

The Denali will be ON the trailer (ie towed by the F250)

It's just a factory alarm so I wasn't sure if it had any sensors other than the forced door. Ill give the manual lock method a try.

Just arm it and if it goes off use the key fob to disarm it which I really doubt it will go off like I stated above factory alarms only go off when the door is forced open no shaking,towing an even breaking a
Wouldn't set it off

No, factory alarm will only go off if a door or the rear hatch is opened.

I think you can buy an add on tilt sensor from GM to work with the factory alarm.
