Default 99 accord chirp

i have a 99 accord with a factory alarm system. i was wondering if there is a semi easy way to make it chirp instead of honk... if theres any way to DIY i would love to know.

not sure if you could try and fix the factory alarm to chirp. you'll probably need to buy a separate alarm system.

u'll have to hook up another siren and seperate the siren wire coming out of your alarm module. and its no where close to easy for a beginner.

in the passenger side multiplexer unit and like nspec_cd5 said it's not for beginners advanced knowleadge is needed have to supress the stock horn from chirping and isolate it from the siren so it chrips w/o the horn and done in a way the stock horn will work correctly and not sound the siren when you honk the horn...

shouldnt be that hard... locate the horn wire coming out of the alarm module using a DMM.. cut it and splice the new lead to the siren... the horn(steering wheel button) shouldnt go through the alarm system... im pretty sure the leads to the horn are seperate for honk and alarm... why else would there be 2 horns?

after a little bit of research, i discovered that both the horns sound together in every situation.

KPTechnologies does make a module to do this... its less than 50 bux so its not bad...

The two horns under the hood do work together at the same time to produce the "dual-tone" that you hear when the horn honks. If you disconnect one at a time and honk the horn, you will hear the difference.

I'm not sure if your 99' factory alarm works in the same manor as my 03', but their is a way to add a "beep" if it does. I've already addressed this in another post. Do you press the lock button once to arm/lock the doors then press it again to get the horn honk? If so, then it's the same as mine. I have added a beep to my factory alarm very easily for less than $20. If you are interested, check out the other thread for more details.
