Remote Lock "Beep" and Alarm on B5 S4

[lotekinc]

I've always thought that the "beep" that my car makes when locking is very quiet. It sounds like a muffled burp. Recently I accidentally triggered the panic alarm and it too was muffled and could hardly be considered an "alarm". I was wondering if the lock "beep" and alarm horn are the same device and if so, what's the prognosis for the "wimpy beep"? It's almost embarrassing it's so weak.

check your grounds?

I can't say I know for sure, but I'm almost sure that it is the same horn. It is pretty pathetic, maybe it will scare a baby away. The only way it would a affect a burglar is if he laughed to death from the wimpy alarm. I almost laugh every time I hear it.

You can code the alarm to not beep when you set the alarm through vag-com. so you dont have to hear it.

Its in the back somewhere, I think under seat. You could check to get a bigger horn for the alarm?

^^ i thought about that, but why not just wire it in to the regular horns.. i guess those would be easy to snip though..

I disabled my 'bonk' horn with VAG-COM. It is the pussiest alarm I've ever heard.

I found it. It's in the trunk on the drivers side. Pretty unimpressive.

ROFL.

Is there a horn we can replace the regular one with to make it a higher pitch/louder? (think road runner meep meep)

looks like a popcorn maker dawg

You can upgade to a louder horn. just go to any car audio/stereo store and choose a new horn (+/- $20) and the wiring that goes with it. My boy put a very loud chirping one in his S, I'll report back to exactly which brand it was.

Sounds like a queef. My B6 A4's beep is so much better and classier than the B5's. I'm looking to upgrade too, so let me know what you guys find
