My DIY Alarm goes off 45 seconds after arming. Why?

Bulldog security FAQ
If the alarm goes off into full alarm 45 seconds after arming, this is telling you that the current signal of the alarm has been activated. If you have a cell phone, radar detector or aftermarket amplifiers installed in the vehicle, these units pull enough current even when turned off to activate the system. You can disconnect these units from power or turn off the current sensing on the unit. No, each unit is individually coded and has its own unique code number.
