Thanks to this forum I have just completed my first modifiaction on my car - I disabled the  alarm sounder so it now used the main horn instead  . Given I have no mechanical knowledge this is a big day for me 
Last night we had three cars on our street broken into and nobody heard any of the alarms (all fairly new cars). If the come back again and fancy a pop at mine the whole village will now know.

ok, I'm confused 
If you disabled the alarm horn, how will the village know when your D3 gets broken into?
Does it shoot them with both barrels of a shotgun or something?  08 LR3 SE V8 - 02 D2 SE7 V8
Porsche 911 (03 996) - Porsche Boxster (99 986)
03 MINI Cooper S - gone but not forgotten!

Now that is something I could do with Should be fitted as standard.
Although I would be very tempted to set it off just for the fun; so it could burn the Prius and cats from next door

I can't see the photo's in the link, is it me or are they missing. A load of cars got broken into last weekend where we live as well. The police caught the guy hiding in the boot of a car fortunately. The next day they were driving around with him in the back so he could point out which cars he had broken into.

BTW. Hope your car was not damaged.
Still can't read it for some reason.
They didn't touch my car, fortunately we have gates across the drive and if anybody gets within 200M of the house at night our dog barks.

Thanks got it now , will modify mine when I get back home. I only heard the alarm for the first time the other day and even though I was standing next to it, I still wasn't sure if it was the car making the noise it was so quiet.

Indicators work - just done my new one.
Easier to use a socket and extension and remove the two bolts holding the sounder down. Then remove the wire harness. You choose if you want to replace the sounder. I have, so I don't loose it "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

MMMMMMMMMM 
What if you wired that plug to a pre-recorded sound device, and
will give a warning of your choice.
Say, "THIS IS THE POLICE..... FREEZE" ( the perp will more than likely head for the hills)
pause in recording then "BANG,BANG,BANG" etc , as if they let rip with a machine gun.
