Alarm horn

[itsjustmatt23]

Does anyone know where the alarm horn is located? I know its over on the driver side of the engine near the top. I want to replace it with something that doesn't sound like it belongs on a kids bike.

You mean it doesn't use the car horn (which also sounds like a kid's bike)?

That alarm horn is a JOKE!

The car horn is good though.

One day, while at a "Big Box Store", I had trouble finding where I parked my car. OK then, I'll just press the horn button on my FOB. Pushed it for a few seconds, but still could not find the car BECAUSE I COULD NOT HEAR THE HORN! Walked around for a while and finally found the car in the next isle. Again pushed the horn button as I thought it did not work. Well, the horn went off, and the lights flashed, but it was the poorest excuse for an alarm horn I've ever heard.

Has anyone tried to remove the ECM to get to the alarm horn? There are 3 big connectors that go into the ECM that I am afraid of disconnecting. I'm sure if i disconnect the battery I should be ok but I want to check with any of you that might have attempted to do this project. Here is a link to what the ECM looks like. http://www.flickr.com/photos/26634176@N06/4339004889/

I have not tried it, but what replacement did you find for the alarm horn? I have seem some threads with replacement horns, but I am not sure if they would fit the alarm horn (they seem to be for the regular horn).

I just went to the junk yard and pulled out two horns from a Lexus. I really want the siren from the BMW alarm system but it requires more in depth modification.
