I'm looking for a reasonably priced alarm system. Any suggestions other than Toyota's VIP? Is it "easy" to install the system myself?

If you really want to change it you can do some rewiring, let me know and I will look up the info for you. Just cut the output from the alarm to the horn, add a relay, fuse for the alarm siren, etc, find a siren you like the sound of, hook it up, may take a latching relay though.
