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!
