If it beeps 2seconds after a single push lock then that means there is something open in the circuit. This can be the door being left open, hood, trunk, missing radio...etc. Now you can make it beep everytime if you press the lock button twice quickly. This should cause the alarm to beep immediately.

Your factory radio must not have been in contact with the factory ground and that is why it was beeping. With the aftermakert radio intalled im sure the installer removed or covered up the wire that was the OEM radio ground to the alarm and that is why it no longer beeps.

Hope that makes sense to you...
