Your dealer (if he is being nice) can activate your "clown nose" without an alarm installed. He uses the same little computer hook-up that he uses to program things like the daytime running lights, automatic door locks, and other remote key settings.
What I meant by "being nice" is that some dealers might tell you that it can't be done (Bull s*it) some dealers will do it, but want to be paid for doing it. My dealer did it without my asking!! but, they said if I wanted to change program settings in the future, I'd probably have to pay service guy to do it.
When your car is locked, it flashes about every ten seconds or so, as if you have an alarm installed. Thats all it does, no horn confirmation or anything like that. For horn to work, you have to buy the alarm.
Also, If you want the alarm, it is much cheaper, and very easy, to purchase and install yourself. When your finished with the installation, just go back to your dealer to have it programed.

If the full alarm isn't installed, what activates the clown nose? And, what turns it off?
