    Ok here is my dilemma
    Almost everytime I go somewhere or come home I hear the same beeps from other cars and think its mine. Sometimes we get into beep wars lol. As we have no clue who's car is who's.
    Nissan, Subaru etc all sound the same to us atleast the ones I've heard.

    Does anyone have a pic of the piezo or what ever there using for the sound?

    Also the exact location of it.

    I want to either find
    A. A programmable replacement
    B. A totally different sound and tad louder.
    C. Better option as I have mine set to high and sometimes can barely hear it.

    Just imagine a star trek sound or something to throw others off and never wonder if that's your car again.

    I have glanced in the bay and see no alarm siren etc and tested locking and opening doors to see if it's active.

    Wow 122 views and nobody knows? I have done lots of searches finding nothing.

    The reverse beep don't bother me but the outside beep sure does. I just want a different sound and 1 notch louder. Even if it was a gunshot sound even a whistle would do lol

    do al the beeps come out of the vpns speaker? i don't recall anyone ever finding the beep source. it's probably buried beep in the dashboard. and people who have disconnected the speaker don't mention the beeping going away.

    Air_Boss thanks for that 1 even though isn't that the fake Brake sound? And not the beep/chirp from locking and unlocking?

    Although now I'm curious about that fake car sound speaker if it's the speaker or in the computer providing sounds.

    I want to atleast find a alternative to the beep/chirp as we live in apartments instead of a house. And not use to the beeps. Our soon to be 1yr old daughter has our mind on other stuff.

    computer generates, speaker aggravates.

    Sadly it does sound like it is in the same location as the fake Brake sound. Driver side fender well.

    Guess I won't be able to mod it like I wanted.

    Galaxy?
