change Remote Keyless Entry sound

There is a simple procedure to silence this audible arming. For me, hearing the door lock actuators do their thing is plenty.

I found this procedure in my manual.

So would the por guy who finds your lost keys in the beach sand while you are sun bathing... (I prefer silent).

My 2005 Forester chirps, it has a small beeper near the firewall. Not sure how the wiring differs.

Hitting the panic button still would help with that and maintain the usual silence.

I tell you, it's nearly impossible to tell the difference between my chirp mode and the silent mode. I'm not complaining...

My first thought is that you have a factory installed system and your friend has an aftermarket system.

Beeps are boring and horn blasts are really annoying and wake folks up. I want mine to quack.

Phil, Yes, but even if that's why the sounds on the two cars are different, my question is this: is there a wire that runs into the horn from the remote entry system which could be rerouted to a chirper that a garage can install (without messing up the car's electric system)? I don't know how these keyless entry systems work or how complex they are. Would it be simple, like changing speakers on a stereo system? That is, run the "keyless entry speaker wire" to a third-party chirper unit instead of to the horn? Or is it not as simple as that? Does the same wire that carries the door lock/unlock sound also carry the "panic" signal and also tie in to the horn button on the steering wheel? Thanks Tracy
