AutoPage alarm and OEM alarm are not being friends.

I had an alarm installed years ago and over the past few months when I lock the car, it does the normal AutoPage "chirp" noise, but the short stock horn honk that signifies the car locking also occurs simultaneously. I have never had this issue before, and the only way I have been able to get around this is by unplugging the horn. Obviously having my horn unplugged while driving around is a terrible idea. I was just curious if you anyone knows how to get around this? Basically a way to shut up the stock alarm, if that makes sense. Any help would be appreciated!

This is copied from the owners manual if you don't feel like reading through this wall of text. Pages 183/184
To change feature settings, use the following
procedure:
Entering Personalization Menu
1. Turn the ignition on while the vehicle is
stopped.
To avoid excessive drain on the battery, it is
recommended that the headlamps are
turned off.
2. Press and hold the information and
reset buttons at the same time for
one second, then release to enter the
personalization menu.
If the vehicle speed is greater than 2 mph
(3 km/h), only the UNITS menu will be
accessible.
3. Press the information button to scroll through
the available personalization menu modes.
Press the reset button to scroll through
the available settings for each mode.
If you do not make a selection within
ten seconds, the display will go back to the
previous information displayed.

You sir, are a god among men. Never did I think that would be an option in the DIC. I will name my first child after you.
