has anyone tried replacing the horn of the stock alarm to one that is half decent? is that even possible?

 

Maybe you could wire it up so that it not only honks the horn, but also rig up airhorns and have it play dixie. Forget about wondering if that's your car thats got the alarm going off!

 

mine isn't hooked up the the main horn. there is a second horn specifically for the alarm that's about 1/4 as loud as the main horn...it's in the rear of the car, but i'm not sure where...anyone got any ideas?

 

I have a sneeking suspistion that it is vacume operated by the airy winded sound it makes. That would mean that unless you could find a 12 volt power silinoid or something that runs the horn and tap that you are kinda **** out of luck.

 

There is a buzzer attached to the driver's side rear panel that is accessable through the hatch for the CD player.

Why bother though? No one pays attention to the alarm anyway.

 

i can feel your gripe about our alarms, i used to use the alarm to find my car in parking lots. I cant do that anymore with my audi. [:@]

I'd change that too if i could...

 

the best place to start lookin is under the dash and try to find the brain. then you have to test voltage to see what is showing 12 volts when the alarm is goin off. ounce you find which one it is then you can tap into it there.

 

find the car with the alarm, HA. I have to be like ten feet from it max to get the thing to work.
