If you're gonna spend all that $$ for the Remote Key, you might as well just get the factory alarm and actually HAVE a functioning alarm instead of a fake. The price is about the same.
You can already open windows/roof & fold mirrors from FOB from factory. Simple to code in to be able to close your windows/roof from FOB.
And no, there is no way to code horn to signal lock/unlock. Factory system that does this does not use the horn anyway - it uses the alarm system siren to sound a chirp - so no alarm system - no chirping.
And coding the alarm is simple to DIY, if you don't want to get involved with coding, find someone near you to do it - just make sure they really know what the hell they are doing or bad things can happen
Dealer will charge ~$300 to do coding of new alarm - they do not have the capabilities to code individual items as we are doing here - they actually have to update the entire car software at the same time - which could take a couple hrs of the car hooked up to the machine depending on whether it all goes thru the 1st time or not...
