leave it alone for a bit.. probably will fix itself.. anytime i go to VX meets all of those beeps sound different, some of them even change from beep to beep

There's a PDF manual available somewhere, but this might be the part you need:

BUZZER OPERATION MODE

The factory setting for the buzzer mode is buzzer ON. Selecting the buzzer OFF mode only affects the buzzer operation during remote arming and disarming.

To change the buzzer operation mode, follow the steps below:

1) Sit in the driver seat with all doors and the tailgate window closed. (Tailgate window??)

2) Press and release the remote control's top button once to lock the doors, then once again to unlock the driver door only.

3) Open the driver door only.

4) Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to "ON" (not "ACC") 5 times (LOCK=>ON=>OFF=>ON=>OFF=>ON=>OFF=>ON=>OFF=>ON) within a 10 second period.

o The buzzer chirps once.
o The vehicle's marker lights and parking lights will flash once.
o The status indicator LED will turn on for 30 seconds.

--YOU MUST PERFORM THE NEXT STEPS WITHIN 30 SECONDS--

5) Select the operation mode

BUZZER OFF
A) Close the driver door
B) Turn the ignition switch off
o The buzzer chirps once
o The marker lights and parking lights flash once

BUZZER ON
A) Close the driver door, then open and close it again.
B) Turn the ignition switch off
o The buzzer chirps twice
o The marker lights and parking lights flash twice

sorry, dont mean to thread jack but...

does anyone know how to program a remote to our VX??

basically when i bought my VX, the guy who sold it to me gave me an extra key fob and i lost my original one...

so i dug out my alternate one but it doesnt work, the LED lights up on the remote but the car doesnt give the correct signal...

instead of chirping like stock it gives a longer quieter beep at a really low volume for around 10 to 20 seconds then turns off....almost like a whine...

Don't sweat it...it'll start working again sooner or later, after four years of ownership, you get used to the "quirkyness" of the beeper that works when it wants to...
I was just thinking to myself the other day, that mine has been working for a long time without any malfunctions...of course it quit working within hours of that thought...

I have the instructions printed out, & will bring them with me to Moab. Bring your extra fob along & we'll get it programmed.
Or do a forums search for "key fob" if you want to do it before then.

Well, I can't find it in either the alarm manual or the tech manual. However, this thread says how.
