Jim's technically right, as usual. However, there is a way to make it work. There is a wire leading to your center console that if unplugged, will tell the system you've left the oddments tray (center console) open and it will cause the horn to beep.

Mine beeps when I lock the car because I had an aftermarket stereo installed and the installer didn't know to ground out a wire from the old harness and it's the same message to the system as what I described above.

I love this "feature" on my car. Before I had it, I never knew if I was locking or unlocking my car with a single button remote... and I don't have to look at the car to see if the tail lamps blinked once or twice or whatever it is.

Hi,

Yep, that would do it, disconnect the Brown Wire coming off the Oddments Tray Switch. But, you will lose the reminder function that a door, or latch, is open. Comes down to your preference...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
