What kind of problems have you been encountering with the factory alarm?
Toyota factory alarms are very pretty reliable.  If the remote does not
work, assuming that you have replaced the battery, try cleaning the contacts
on the mini circuit board and the back of the rubber buttons with rubbing
alcohol.

Even without the remote, the factory alarm should be disarmed by unlocking
one of the front doors with the key.  If opening one of the front doors with
the key does not disarm the alarm, then check the switch connected to the
lock cylinder for continuity.
