It's in valet mode. With your car off, open the door and hold the disarm button on the key fob for 2 seconds.

Open your driver door, and then PRESS and HOLD the UNLOCK button on your remote, until the blinking security light goes away. Let me know if it works.

it shouldn't be blinking WHILE he's driving, unless they changed something. On my 02 in Valet Mode it only blinks when the car is off

The good thing about taking the alarm out of Valet Mode is that now your alarm is actually on.

disables the actual alarm so the valet doesn't accidentally set it off
