Default Anyone have an idea or pic of what our "alarm" horn looks like?

I have an idea for a new mod.

Curious of 2 things

1) pic of how it is mounted
2) pic of how it is wired.


Thanks

Default I'm pretty sure that it's behind the trunk carpeting on the driver's side of the car.

I've never seen it, but you can access that area pretty easily.

Its easy to replace the factory alarm horn with an aftermarket siren; its also possible to keep the factory alarm horn and add an external siren. Just tap off the hot wire on the horn and run it to the location you want to put the siren. You'll need to provide a ground for the siren as well.

Directed Electronics #514N works fine and costs about $15. It has a soft chirp when arming/disarming and the unit itself is quite small. And its magnitudes louder than the factory "alarm".

The solution is to wire it to your standard horns. Easy fo shneezy.
