Sure, will keep you posted as soon as I get a reply from them.
At the end, I think what turned the alarm off was when I managed to get the ignition ON by pressing on the start/stop button for about 10 sec. Once I got the engine started, the problem went away.

F10 does not have an ignition slot. There is a marking on the steering column where you are supposed to hold the key against if there is difficulty in detecting the key. Even though I did this, the car was still not recognising the key.
But the alarm did turn OFF when I finally managed to get the engine turned ON.

@ savion19
I think you might be onto something there with the extreme heat. I remember the car was in the sun all day. And like I said, i hadn't used it for 2 days. But if it a problem with the transmission, why hasn't it given me any problems since?

the problem is intermittent and doesn't happen every time, but im sure if u replace the transmitter inside the car it should fix the problem.
