2006 Honda Civic Lx factory alarm woes

Seems the car is stuck in alarm mode.

Headlights are stuck flashing if my headlights are set to off. So when it does this shit (which it always does this shit I just bought this car and haven't fixed it yet) I turn my headlights on because that's less obnoxious than having them flashing.

Also it has a round orange light on dash (in my video) flashing which I guess is a security indicator. Dome light is also not working.

also, not sure its related, car not going over 3500 rpm, is that related? Seller said this problem was caused by an o2 sensor. I don't trust that. I'd expect the oil is low, but it is not low. So it isn't oil.

Please help? Can't seem to get a reliable answer on the internets. I think the dash light and the flashing headlights are the same thing. But only 50% suspect the dash light flashing headlights are connected to the 3500rpm issue.

Online advice indicated I should put the key in the driver door and turn it to unlock and leave it in there for at least a minute. The key does insert into the door keyhole just fine, but it does not turn.

Other online advice said pull the negative terminal and let it sit for 10 minutes then you should be fine. I did this, and it did not help.

My 2006 Civic Lx is flashing its headlights while driving and after cutting off for a couple of minutes.

This headlight flashing is if my headlights are set to off. So when it does this shit (which it always does this shit I just bought this car and haven't fixed it yet) I turn my headlights on because that's less obnoxious than having them flashing.

Also it has a mystery round orange light on dash (in my video) flashing. Dome light is also not working.

also, not sure its related, car not going over 3500 rpm, is that related? Seller said this problem was caused by an o2 sensor. I don't trust that. I'd expect the oil is low, but it is not low. So it isn't oil.

Please help, at least with that dash light, what the hell is that? Can't seem to get a reliable answer on the internets. I think the dash light and the flashing headlights are the same thing. But only 50% suspect the dash light flashing headlights are connected to the 3500rpm issue.
