I bought myself another XJ yesterday for a daily driver. It's a 2000 Classic.
The alarm system is kind of goofy. It acts differently than the alarm in my 2001 or 1998.
When I activate/lock with the keyfob it honks the horn 4-5 times in quick succession.
It does the same thing when I unlock with the fob as well... might be 6-7 quick beeps actually.
It works - it's just really fsck'ing annoying. The horn volume seems louder than the other Jeeps also.
Is there a way to change the number of horn beeps? There must be as my 2001 and 1998 don't behave this way... and no other 97+ with this OEM alarm seems to behave this way.
Dealer coding? Do any of the dealers even have the ability to work on these Jeeps any more? Is it accessible through a full function OBD scanner perhaps? I want to know what I'm talking about before I talk to the local dealer(s) as I don't trust them with much.
TIA
