I was in the same position -- I primarily use a non-remote enabled key, and the 10 second delay before the alarm sounds is annoying (BTW, if you just put the key in and turn it to the Accessory position, the alarm won't sound)
Regardless, I just disconnected the alarm HORN -- the lights still flash, but it is FAR less annoying -- plus, living in the city, car alarms are just annoying -- no one actually pays any attention to them - IMO, they are completely worthless. Now if they armed an auto-taser, that would be different :-)
But I digress -- If you want to disconnect the alarm horn (which is separate from the main horn) open the frunk, remove the cowl that covers the battery, and the alarm horn is to the right of the battery (facing the windshield from the front bumper). It is easy to disconnect -- just one connector to remove. It's a very easy job.
