In this video, see how to disable the factory alarm on a 2004 Nissan Altima. This is a very simple operation that you can perform directly from the fuse box located in the cabin, under the dashboard, between the steering wheel and the driver's door.

It is fuse number 10, next to the hook. Just remove it, and the alarm will no longer be a problem.

It seems that the immobilizer on this vehicle causes more issues than benefits, and the practice of removing this fuse to eliminate the alarm annoyance is quite common. Therefore, for those who are not aware, we would like to point this out.
