I've never seen one that did, so you may have to get an aftermarket alarm system

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.
