I seem to remember that the system pulls 10 mA with the imobilizer on and alarm off, and 15 mA when the alarm is activated along with the imobilizer. The alarm being active adds 5 mA draw to the immobilizer only - the two amounts are not added together.

Even if I'm wrong about the 10 and 15, and it's really 15 and 20, they still are not added together to get 35 - it's one or the other.
