Thanks for all the answers. So the mystery becomes more and more interesting. I charged my battery fully. The car worked for 2 minutes and them went back into this alarm problem.
I bought a new battery and fully charged it: same problem. The car has a new battery but yet behaves like the battery is discharged. All lights are off or shinning just a little bit. If I turn on anything (open a door, overhead light, whatever) the alarm stops, otherwise it rings.
I have an appointment with service but unfortunately, the earliest date they can look at my car is 4/18. It is going to tough to wait until then!

Same thing happened when my battery voltage was low.Corrected after charging and hasn't recurred. |

My experiences with any type of car alarm or anti theft device is that is more trouble for the owner than the crook. |

This is the reason I'm pulling the alarm out of my 308. I'd rather take the risks and not deal with the friggin thing. A 360 though I could see a little different though. |

The alarm on our F355 exhibits a similar condition when the voltage gets low. Make sure the battery is in good condition and fully charged. |

I just tried starting my 360 and experienced a problem with the alarm. When I pressed the remote to disable the immobilizer, nothing happened. I tried several times and eventually locked the car. I tried again but nothing happened. I got out of the car and the alarm started. I tried many things since then and here is the current status:
- I tried all remotes including the red master. None work
- passenger door won't close because the window is not lowered.
- if I turn on power (big knob in the trunk), there is a humming noise. If then I open/close doors the alarm rings for a while
- I also tried to enter the pin manually but that did not help...
I guess the battery is low. I'm currently trying to charge it. Hopefully this will work
I cannot think of any reason why the battery would be low. I drove the car last Friday for about 60 miles
Maybe one of the door wasn't closed properly?
Any idea, hint tip appreciated!
Thanks
