Yep, it only beeps when you unlock, it doesnt bother me that it doesnt beep when it unlocks because i'll find out its not unlocked when i pull on the handle

LoL, as long as i know it locked as i walk away.

[QUOTE=scENFORCER;4268613]This 'audible beep' is the beep that new car models make when locked/unlocked correct? Not a horn sound or anything..[QUOTE]

correct, that is the beep we are talking about. Right now mine does make that horn like bonk, but as i mentioned above, when you use a multitone siren, as you change the voltage it produces a different tone, and softer as you lessen it.

Yes it does, but i hardly every lock the doors once im in the car, and even then if me or my fiancee' feels the need to lock the doors while in the car because of a spooky character, the siren is a good deterrent.

hahaha.. great idea!!! i've been wanting to do this mod but i was thinking of getting the "positive burst" from the remote module itself and put a one way diode so when i lock the car from the switch it doesn't beep.. but then again i'm thinking of buying an aftermarket alarm.. hmmm.

Thats all cool too, i just dont want to spend the money on something like that when the car already has an alarm. For me, it makes no sense. I just need to change the sound and loudness of the beep and i'll be satisfied.

Oem is a normal snail style horn, just very small, it makes a light chirp. You can make these multitone sirens do that to, just have to lower the voltage.

THANKS A BUNCH.

i plan to do this if i have time to..

i actually dont know if my car has an alarm, and i need to test it out some day.

seriously though, when i part at school, i cant tell if it gets locked, so i stand next to the door and look at the window to see if the little extra plastic on the lock switch moves.

woot woot. THANKS soo much.
