Most car alarm brains are black boxes tucked underneath the dash or the lower kick panel on the drivers side. Most car alarm brains have a mfg's make and model number on it. See if you can search for it or take it to your local car audio shop and ask them. They might charge you a little bit. Let me know what brand it is and I might be able to help you.

you just need to find the "brain" of the alarm...the little black box..it should have the name/model on it! I had to do this once and i think it was like $30-$35 for it...
