Wow! Thanks for all that info. I am sure i will need it.

ok, i have a remote, when i follow the instructions, about turning the switch from off to on 10 times, the horn does not sound. i have tried it several time even a few more time waiting for the horn to work, nothing. i did notice when i manuall locked the doors, with the door lock, when closing the door i heard a mild chirp and the park lights flashed. i just cannot the horn to sound when turning the switch. any suggestions, or what am i doing wrong.

Would these systems be set up under a fuse to where it would not make the horn sound. I cannot get the system to work. Any help would be great.
