Default Anyone reprogram horn 'BEEP' on the 06 key fob yet?

I'm trying to disable that annoying 'beep' that comes from my truck when I enable the alarm - it scares the crap out of anyone near the truck when I hit that button...

I've read the instructions in my book but I've had no luck changing the setting...

Thanks in advance

Pretty sure that has to be done with the Star Scan tool.

Default Yes!

I reprogrammed mine three times already. First was to get rid of the beep and then to unlock the back door locks without having to hit the button twice.

I then reprogrammed it back to where I have the beep because sometime I’m walking away and want to be sure the doors are locked without actually seeing the locks retract.

Now I have the beep back but it only takes one push of the button to unlock all four doors.

Just follow the owner’s manual, it works like a charm and you don’t need a Star Scan tool.

You are not the only one. I tried to reprogram mine when I got it, but got fed up when it didn't work after several tries. Reread the manual but still no luck. Maybe I'll let my kids figure it out for me!

I reprogrammed mine, no problem. I dont know why they think we would want to hear the HORN chirp. Why not a nice little beep?

What's the difference between a horn BEEP and CHIRP? I also would like to have all 4 doors unlock with 1 push.

It's really simple, well at least it was for me. To unlock all 4 doors:
1st: get in and close all doors 2nd: put key in ignition and turn to on position. 3rd: Hold in unlock button for 4 seconds, then press the lock button while still holding the unlock button. You will hear a chime. 4th:Turn your key to the off position and try it. It will work or it should. To turn the chirp off follow same steps except switching lock and unlock buttons. ie "press and hold the lock button first.

Hope this helps you guys.
