All areas if protection do indeed work. Easy to check, too. Pop the hood 
but
don't open it, lock the door, open the hood. Hit the trunk-opening button,
lock the doors, open the trunk. Close each door slightly, lock a front 
door,
open any other door. I think that the LED by the driver's-side locking 
knob
would not blink when armed if the system was not fully operational. I'm
thinking it's just a fluke (or that it's the stereo thing like one person
suggested - that all I'd need to do is pull the head unit, and push it 
back
into place). 1), I like it sans beep. 2) I don't NEED a car alarm in my
corner of the globe. It's a quirk ... a feature, not a bug. *grin*
