: your factory anti-theft module, or you have a defective anti-theft module. Maxima's by default have an anti-theft module that prevents the car from being stolen. Your aftermarket alarm, when armed, tells the factory to disarm itself for it is taking over control of the car (door locks, ignition, etc.etc.) There are two wires in the anti-theft module that have to be connected to the aftermarket. One is the arm wire and the other isthe disarm wire. If installed correctly, when you press the button on the aftermarket remote, it will arm the car using its own aftermarket alarm computer, and then arm the factory alarm. When you press the disarm button on the aftermarket remote, it will send a disarm signal to the factory anti-theft and then disarm the aftermarket alarm computer. The symptoms you describe occur because your installed did not tie in the aftermarket with the factory alarm. The Maxima SE is not weird, your car installer is more like it (weird) Take it apart if you have the willingness to fix it, or, take it to a real installer.
