email me the brand name of your alarm as well, I wonder if they are from the same company.

The alarm is made by Avital. I don't remember the model name, perhaps it was "Valet". It is an inexpensive alarm ($110 installed) and is activated only by impact or by current draw.

Just to throw a monkey wrench into my theory that the empeg was responsible for destroying my automotive tranquility, this morning at work the alarm started its every-5-minute cycling thing, and the empeg was sitting on my desk.

I am wondering if you installed anything else at the same time as the Empeg, or if you just installed the Empeg and now your alarm is doing this?

The alarm is a recent addition to my car, all my stereo gear has been installed for several years (excepting, of course, the empeg which was added to the mix a couple of months before the alarm).

I'd write it all of to just a cheap alarm malfunctioning... except it is literally eight or ten times more likely to happen with the empeg in the dash.
