The Saturn security system is a passive horn system. When enabled (by pressing the key fob door lock button twice), the horn will honk continually if a thief opens, and later closes a door, or attempts to start the car. My remotes died years ago (And Saturn wanted 50 bucks each for new ones), so I may be slightly off as to how the system works.
