For those with the Vegatouch panel in the console, you can lock and unlock the baggage doors with the motor running. That was a big plus for me.

Thanks Tadd. Could not get it to deactivate until I realized bus must be unlocked for the fob functions to engage. Tried both remotes three times and no luck. Used entry handle to open all up and tried again, success! Way to read the manual!

The 2017 Anthems still use TriMark, suspect same with CS.

Some additional info on the chirp and alarm setting with the Tri-Mark.

There are two related but different modes being talked about in this thread.

1) Keeping the chirp from sounding when setting the Alarm as per Misty123 (holding the entry lock, entry unlock, and the right center"cargo unlock" buttons, all at the same time, on the remote). This will stop the chirp but will still ENABLE the alarm.

2) Stopping the chirp AND preventing the alarm from arming when locking the door with the keyfob or the 1/2 button on the handle. This is the mode most pet owners are looking for.

#2 can be achieved on an Aspire or any Entegra that uses the Tri-Mark system and does NOT have electrically lock/unlockable cargo bay doors. Simply setting dipswitch #6 on the side of the Tri-Mark box to OFF (up) will let you lock the doors without arming the alarm (or chirping) with the first press of the keypad lock or grab handle 1/2 buttons. The second press will arm the alarm. All other dipswitches on the Tri-Mark on an Aspire will be OFF (or in the up position).

#2 does NOT seem to work on an Anthem/Cornerstone or any coach with electric cargo bay doors. These coaches have "Cargo Mode" enabled dipswitch #1 ON (down) and for some reason that negates the effect of dipswitch #6 to perform its stated function. I have a call into Tri-mark to see if there is a solution for this.

Thanks for doing the leg work on this Rob. Looking forward to hearing what they have to say.
