The oem battery can die with no warning. It happened to me too and I was shocked. Most batteries will start to die off and you have some warning. Not always the case. I bet it's the battery.

A bad starter is my best guess if the new battery didn't fix it.

Good luck. Let us know if that turns out to be the cause.

Aftermarket alarm or oem? I didn't think the oem had a starter kill, just the immobilizer.

= alarm = possible problem with the key transponder and ecu not reconizing the key.

Won't know until you put a good battery in it first to eliminate that possibility.

Not sure what else to advise. I would have at the very least put jumper cables on it and tried to start the car YESTERDAY. If no, then off to the dealer you go. Unless the mechanic knows what to do. (which I'm doubting at this point)
