Default Help identifying alarm system

Hey guys, I posted this in the C5 General forum with no luck.

When I got my C5 a few months ago I noticed it has a secondary alarm system integrated into the factory fob. When armed, I get the horn then siren chirp. I have located the valet switch but would like to make some changes to the programming. Does anyone know which system this may be? It had to be installed back in 2003, and since it works on the factory fob, I would hope it was "the alarm to use" back then. Also, this unit is the annoying type (auto arming, multiple chirps, etc) which is why I want to have a look at the manual.

I am sure that I can remove some dash panels and find it if it comes to that.

It is the factory black fob with 4 buttons and controls both alarms.

not sure how that works but I would remove it in case there is a starter kill circuit that you can not control.

You need to find the box in your car. Even if someone got lucky and managed to guess what brand it is, you still need to find the box.

Follow the wires from the valet switch
