[A4] Replace Alarm System

[Rocky Mullin]

	the range, not the alarm sound itself :)  that beeping is not
very loud at all.  they have to appease the least common denominator
though.  still, they should make the volume adjustable.

	BTW i got my 2006 chiptuned yesterday!  APR, for $600 with
labor.  50hp or so, feels good, and was software only.  no hardware
mods necessary.

	it's funny, the APR chip in my 2000 A4 "hit" harder than the
one in the 2.0 does.
