I'm not sure if this belongs here or in electrical...
Basically, I dislike the 2000's car alarm. It honks. Loudily. It's irritating when I pull in at like 2 am and it goes 'HONK!'
Is there a way to upgrade the alarm? Mom's 2003 Outback has an alarm, and it 'beeps' instead of honks. I wish this one would do that instead. =\ I did put this alarm into 'silent mode', where the lights just flash when it arms or disarms, but the beep would be nice.
From what I've seen so far, I don't think the alarm is an actual chip or unit that can be removed or even found.
One last question. Can I get new zappies (the alarm armer/disarmer) for this car? I know Mom's zappies are a lot different than the zappie I got with this car.
Car alarm?

....must....not....laugh..............
well let me get this straight, you ask if you can get rid of the honk sound when you arm and disarm, then you say 3 lines down that you put the unit in silent mode........um what is your question?

if you want an alarm that's actually effective, then ditch the stock setup and have a real one installed
I don't care about effectiveness... The fact is, either the transmitter or the reciever is getting old, because I have to be in a specific spot for it to arm/disarm or lock/unlock. =\ It's irritating. I wish I could have the stock unit removed completely now.
It's in silent mode. The lights don't flash, though, so I doubt the alarm is actually working. It's too noisy to use because I often come home at 2 am and if I locked the car up, it would wake the neighbors. =\
