It's an option look in your manual, but it's annoying and you will turn it off eventually anyway. Now if I could get mine to play something like Mudvayne that would be a different story.

I think you have to hold the lock button on the fob for 10-15 seconds...I just did it but I'm not sure if that is right/

Data from a 1999 XJ FSM:


The optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system for this vehicle has a customer programmable horn chirp feature. The horn chirp is requested by the RKE receiver through a hard-wired circuit to the received from a programmed RKE radio transmitter.


The purpose of the horn chirp is to provide the vehicle operator with an audible verification that the Lock request has been received by the RKE receiver. However, for any number of reasons, some customers
may prefer that this feature be disabled. This RKE system allows them that option.

To program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) receiver so that the horn chirp feature is disabled, proceed as follows:
(1) While within the reception range of the RKE receiver, press and hold the Lock button of a programmed RKE transmitter depressed for five to ten seconds.
(2) While holding the RKE transmitter Lock button depressed, press and release the RKE transmitter Unlock button.
(3) The RKE horn chirp feature is now disabled.

Repeating the preceding steps will again enable the RKE horn chirp feature.

Thanks, just what I was looking for. Anyone know if you can make it blink the lights instead of honk? I assume not.
