I met a problem after making the key fob working. I pressed the lock button to lock all the doors, and then unlocked all by lifting any one of the switches near the windows on the door. Then when I opened the door, the alarm was sounding! I inserted the key and input the radio code, but the alarm was still beeping!
Does that mean the anti-theft system is activated? How can I deactivate it? I already input the radio code (the radio is on).
I don't know any other PINs related to my car.

Key should be turned from off position to position II 5 times within 10 seconds on an 850 and then push any button. You should see the red light in the center of the dash light up or blink (or something). Car doors should all be closed...not locked. At least this is my understanding of the process. After you push a button on the first one, you have about 5 seconds to push a button on the second one and then a third remote. You have to "reprogram" all at the same time. If you don't then the original one (that worked before you started the programming sequence) won't work anymore. Actually, this is because you're programming the car to the remotes. You can do up to 3 remotes for our cars.

Get out of the car and close the door. Use the remote to lock and then unlock the car. It should reset the alarm. Another method that sometimes works is to put the key in the drivers side door and move it lock position twice in quick succession.

The worse thing is that the Unlock button on my key fob is broken and only the Lock button works.
I got out of my car and locked it with my key, but haven't dared get close to it yet.

Sorry fro asking this kind of basic questions, but I don't understand that why the alarm is activated when I locked the doors inside and opened it again? I can not use the key to open the door and use the key fob to lock it? It doesn't make sense to me.

OK,

Try two quick key turns to the unlock position on the drivers door. If that doesn't work try the same thing on the passengers side door as you might have a bad door switch on the drivers side. That may solve the problem.

If not the first thing we need to do is get the alarm to shut up. You can pop the hood and remove the wire to the horn that is more or less centered on your firewall. The flashers will still be going but it won't be driving you nuts with the horn honk.

The next step is to remove the 210/211 relay(s) - there are two relays in one plastic case - which are located to the left of the steering column under the dash. You need to remove the lower dash panel - I think there are three T-25 torx head screws that hold the lower dash panel in place. That will cease all alarm functions. It will also immobilize the car but is immobilized anyway with the alarm going off.

In order to get the car to start and run you need to run a jumper wire back into the relay socket. On the 210 section of the relay, as you look at the bottom of the relay, you should find pins labeled 50E and 50F Run a jumper wire to the relay socket positions that correspond with those two pins on the relay. At that point the car should be functional again.
