Who cares? Those things are annoying to unsuspecting pedestrians in parking lots anyway. Usually I'm the pedestrian LOL.

Horn chirp ON/OFF
1. Press & hold the lock button on the key fob for 5 - 10 seconds.
2. While the lock button is pressed, press & release the unlock button on the fob.
I'm going to look into getting a real horn to get the attention of the texters even if their windows are up, maybe:
ETA: All in one airhorn for $35 (the demo sounds realllllllllyyyyyyyy annoying)

Here's the horn you want. Very loud and compact. Easy to find a spot for. Guaranteed to cause driving texters to flex their sphincter muscle.

FYI:
There's a TSB (technical service bulletin) on the key fobs being inoperative sometimes. Requires a new key fob to fix.
I know that has nothing to do with the thread, but i figured it was worth bringing up since I'm sure many of us get frustrated when our key fobs don't lock/unlock until after a few presses.
