gidgey said:Yes. Both locking and unlocking the doors makes the horn sound. Once to open, twice when I lock them. i tried holding the button down but it does not have the feature to arm/disarm silently.
By the way, I was VERY happy to see that, for some reason, my Mazda3 does NOT have that feature where you tap the ticker/blinker and it blinks automatically 4-5 times. I hated that feature and was so relieved when I realized mine doesn;t do that (rockon)
MightyMouse said:ticker/blinker? WTF?
What country are you in, because my alarm does not beep, unless I press the lock button twice, which is completly unnecessary.

It sounds like your dealer installed an "alarm" system and that's what you're talking about. Not the normal disable system that is standard with the car.gidgey said:And I don't know why the alarm that came with my car (came like this from the dealership) honks the horn once for lock and twice for unlock. Maybe my dealership used a different alarm system than most other dealerships, who knows.

I completely agree with MiteyMouse. Contact Mazda and let them know that your dealer is playing games with you and that you don't like it. Mazda has a strict policy of good customer service and if they find out your dealer is shady, there will be hell to pay.MiteyMouse said:I would complain to Mazda Customer Service. I bet the dealer will remove the alarm pretty quick after that. Our cars all have immobiliser systems on them, are are VERY unlikely to be stolen without another alarm.
And I would DEMAND that my car be put back to stock with NO trace of aftermarket wiring being in there....
Sorry, I really hate dealers that pull this kind of s***...
