Upgrade Security System
I want to get rid of the annoying stock security system activated horn beep and replace with a siren chirp(s) and keep factory key fobs/features. Anyone found an after market system to do that? Thanks.....

Re: Upgrade Security System (luvinc5)
LuvinC5, thanks for the reply. I failed to mention in my first post that I wanted to continue having a audible confirmation of the secruity system activation. What I'm really looking for is just replacing the horn blowing with a chirp. The rest of the factory security system is adaquate for me. Am I the only one that finds blowing the horn to confirm security annoying (and a bit rude if someone is standing close by)? It seems to be the standard for most OEM systems.
Two well-known security systems dealers here in the Atlanta area won't touch late model vettes. They claim the intergrated electronics/computers are too complicated and too easily "screwed up" by replacing the OEM security system.
I guess finding the wire to the horn and sending the brief impulse to a siren is not that simple.

Re: Upgrade Security System (runingtiger)
Most aftermarket alarms can by wired to bypass the factory system. I have the Alpine 8080 system that was installed in 98 when I purchased my car. It has a multi function remote. It can arm/disarm alarm set valet mode and open the hatch. You can add additional modules for the windows or the fuel door.
