So I got this random aftermarket alarm for my car 2 years ago when I had yet to encounter bimmerfourms and didn't know much about cars. Its called Falcon. After a while it stopped working properly by randomly going off in the middle of the night.

Recently it tripped out more by randomly enabling itself but wouldn't turn off. It was stranded in a parking lot for 3 days until my friend came and used the key to unlock the doors and started it against all odds, and so i drove it home with the alarm sounding and was lucky probably not to have encountered a cop hahaha..When i got home i cut the wire of the alarm after making sure that i could continuously turn off the car and get it to start again

Two nights ago though it tripped out again and only the lights are blinking but no sound from the alarm. The ignition is locked again and it seems like Falcon alarms is not that legit a company and can't find them online for help. The place I got it installed also changed ownership so can't call them.

Anything i can do besides getting it towed?

Seeing as you've had it for two years, any warranty has likely expired. I'd just take it somewhere and have it removed. I hear about this happening all the time with aftermarket alarms. It happened both on my boyfriend's truck and my cousin's truck-- both alarms installed by the dealership on new vehicles.

yea, if you can not do it, then take it to someone that can. Any professional shop will be able to disable and remove it. for a nominal fee, of course.
