Yes.
And some people use that feature to help find their car in a crowded parking lot, although the range is pretty limited

O..then why does it beep? Is it just to let me know it locked lol?

I dont know about other years, but my 97 has passive theft. All that is is if you lock the doors, the system arms after a few seconds. Then, if you open a door with the inside handle without unlocking the doors first, the alarm (horn and lights) will go off. Also, it the tunk lock is removed/medded with when the alarm is "armed" then it will go off.
Best advice...read your flipin owners manual. That's where I found out how mine works.

RE: Just wondering : car alarm
my 02 has a panic button and everything on the keyless entry. Does it still not have an alarm. I also have the theft light that flashes...if it doesnt have an alarm, what does that mean. I would go read my manual like suggested but i bought my car used and dont have one.

Youre right, the PATS is the programmed key. What i meant by passive i guess is that if you shake the car, preak a window, ets, the alarm does not go off. I think only the cobras have what I'm talking about, and all have PATS.

Not even my cosuins 97 cobra came with an alarm. But for the people that do have alwams on their cars, theres this thing called a factory key fob alarm upgrade, we sell it at my dealership, you use the stock key fob and just adds an alarm to it.

RE: Just wondering : car alarm
My 2000 GT convertible came with an extra manual labeled Ford, Lincoln, Mercury Vehicle Security Systems owners manual System3/System 4. It show you how to program the alarm and how to operate the different features. I installed alarms at Columbus Car Audio and Accessories in Ohio and this alarm has all the features that most after market alarms have except for remote start(it even has an adjustable shock sensor). I was surprised to see this because none of my mustangs have come with this before, they just had factory key-less entry.
