Basically, car alarms are just sensors in the doors and windows of your car attached to some sort of alarm or siren. That's the simplest way to put it.

That depends on what type of car alarm you have. Some car alarms are triggered by a series of switches and others by sensing the vibration of someone breaking into the car.

How can you disarm a car alarm without valet?

To disarm a car alarm without a valet key, you can try unlocking the car with the physical key, as some alarms will deactivate when the door is opened this way. If that doesn't work, disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes can reset the alarm system. Additionally, using the remote key fob, if available, can also effectively disarm the alarm. Always refer to the car’s manual for specific instructions related to the alarm system.
