I just bought this 97 Acura 3.0 cl for my wife. I have a few questions since it didn't come with an owner's manual. Is there a way to get the horn to chirp when you press the lock button? My wife's Saturn did this and she would like this one to as well. Also, the factory bose radio get's am stations in just fine but is just static on all fm stations. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Get a new alarm and ur radio sucks but welcome to the board.

 

stand by your car and hold the lock / open trunk buttons together for like 10-15 secs then it should beep

 

are you serious???

 

Yup, just hold trunk and lock and it sets the remote

 

Yeah but i think that 5-10 seconds in enough. I have one remote that does it and one that doesnt.

 

wow did not know this. i should try it. so after holding the two buttons together, the car will beep everytime u press the unlock n lock button?

 

just hold the lock and trunk and you will see the remote light blink...then it will chrip when you lock it.

 

Yes, just hold the 2 buttons down until the remote blinks then poof it beeps

 

i didnt kno that. i even replaced the alarm light blinker on the driver side door to hyper white led so that it shows that i have an alarm. having it chirp is a plus. thx

 

OMG MY CAR BEEPS AT ME NOW! KICK ASS!

~it's the little things in life

 

 

For the radio, pull it out and see if the antenna is not plugged in. Mine wasnt when i got my car.

 

Is mine the only one that sounds like a video game or are all our cars equipped with obnoxious alarms? personally i love it

 

Is there any special tool I need to pull the radio out?

 

Got a philips head screwdriver? Thats all ya need. I think there is a thread in the DIY section for a step by step on taking it out. I guess its real easy on the 97's. I got a 98 so im not sure how to do it.

 

points for the beep-locking thing

 

Doesn't anyone read their OM? It tells you how to turn the chirp on and off.

 

haha i am pretty sure that most lost them or dont even have them

 

who actually reads their OM

 

LoL @ the amazment of an alarm "beep". I went nuts when I found there was a pouch in the center of the back seat thats used to tuck the seatbelt in.

 

Yeah, my wife now loves her car even more because it beeps at her I just found the thread about removing the radio so I am going to try that tomorrow. If the antenna plug is ok, I'll probably just throw a spare JVC in there that I have so she can listen to her Christmas music!!!

 

she went from a saturn to a CL?

Good choice my friend, GOOD choice

 

and if u want to take off the beeping noise u do exactly the same thing??

 

i think one of them earlier in the post said that that method was for setting/resetting..so yeah prob, try it out shouldnt take more than a matter of seconds...wish i had my car here, i wanna play with the f'ing beeper lol

 

Chirp once when you locked it and it chirps twice when you unlock your doors. People around me always go, "Whoa..." like it's something really fancy. It's kind of loud when you're in a quiet neighbourhood though.

 

Well, not really by choice. She wrecked her Saturn that I didn't have full coverage on so I bought her this CL. Now, I wished I would have bought it for myself! Its a really nice car. Sooooo.... is any body interested in a nice 97 Saturn with only uh, slight front end damage

 

everyone is always like.. "what alarm is that" and im like, "nothing, it's stock" but people just dont believe so i just let them think its a fancy alarm

 

Sure if you wanna pay be 5 grand to take it from you. LMAO

 

So thats what that is for....I always wondered! "WTF is this, good little stash pocket" lol

 

what pouch

 

its in the middle seat in the back. almost at the back of the bottom seat. If you put the armrest down it would cover it.

 

oh, i gotcha...i was thinking that it was on the bottom of the seat closer to the ash tray

 

saturn to CL= nice step up. good choice. Welcome, and enjoy! I like the alarm chirp, too. People actually ask me what kind of aftermarket alarm I have.

 

There's a pouch on the middle back seat?

 

BTW Welcome to the board!

 

 

 

I tried the alarm thing and it doesn't work on mine and come to find out my panic button doesn't work either and I just now found out...

 

Wow i tried doing that and what i found out is that my alarm speaker thing is smashed and hs been rolling around inside of my f- bumber for some time now, anyone have a extra alarm speaker thingy
