Lightbulb Which car alarm sound?

I have a compustar alarm system on my sc300, the thing is tho, i absolutely hate the arm/disarm sound that they have. Sounds too racey for me. ive heard the clifford sound which is ok but not really my taste either.

I however love the new toyota/lexus alarm sound, the very settle *beep*. My question is, which other alarm sounds are there? and how do i change those sounds?

i hate my alarm sound so much i turned off the sound.. Another thing i really like about the new cars is the cool "headlight turns off 1 min after you leave the car" trick... sooo nice, i didnt know those things are made to work that way too!! i actually called the owner of the car back and told him he left his lights on.... Anyway we can get that done?

im sure we could have that done..but that would require quite a bit of modifications. there is an alarm system out there where you could control parts of your car with your cell phone via text messages, or bluetooth. so you could get your headlights to turn on/off, engine start/stop, windows up/down, doors if you got door poppers, trunk, etc. its a pretty neat system that doesnt run that much either. im thinking about getting one..just tryna get there. im sure the lights after a minute wouldnt be so hard to do. it would be kind of similar to a turbo timer. turns off the car after a while, so lights would be included. you would just have to wire some sort of timing relay.
