I was wondering what type of piezo beeper I would look for to use it in place of a horn honk for a remote start. My wifes car has a "pleasant" beep tone when you arm the factory security system. I know its a piezo, but I dont know what type. Radio Shack has a bunch of them listed, but Im not sure which one to use ("buzzer", "pulse buzzer", etc).

The horn output on my remote start (I believe) is 250ma, so it looks like I can run the beeper directly off of it, I just need to know which one I should look for.

Thanks!!!

You wish to have this unit pulse / buzz the entire time the vehicle is being remotely RS'ed?

Not really. I just want to replace the horn honks with the beeper sound. Horn honks are annoying to me, and since its not an alarm, I dont have a need for the thing to beep really loudly.
