Yes it is part of the alarm system.
Try disconnecting your front horns then open your car from the inside and see if the horn sounds.
In my VS when the battery got low that horn started sounding continuously, drove me nuts until I put a new battery in.

Ive heard its connected to the alarm but yes, it never seems to make sound.

I'd try disconnecting the horns and see if it sounds. It'd make sense ... whats to stop someone just popping under the front bar and snip the wiring to the horn, so as they break in its silent? But if theres a backup horn up there, where its pretty much unaccessable, should they disable the main horns then the cars still gonna make a noise

Is it the door lock one? Set trip comp to indicator + horn when locking and have a peek cos that sounds different to the horn and the alarm in my vz and vy.

I have no noise nor indicators when locking/unlocking my car, but my horn sounds if i open my door (my normal horn), i also have no dash options for changing ANYTHING on the trip computer (there is no 'trip computer' or similar in the menu

Hmm strange, so you have tried pressing the up/down arrows when prompted after turning the key on? Should come up after "System Check" message. No need to start the car just turn ignition on until you see battery light then wait for the prompt.

Thought you could only set the lock option to Horn + Indicators or just Indicators. Could be wrong but I'll check when I pick up my sv8 this arvo. As for the horn when opening the door...Anyone else?
