I'm with you guys i'm lost myself...my remote start just flashes the lights twice and the truck starts. The parking lights come on to tell me it running, no horn beeping at all. Only time horn beeps in when I press the button twice.

I found this post no idea if it works since mine doesn't chirp when I unlock. Let us know if it works.

Default doorlock code hacking

I think white08gt has the right approach......if we are talking about locking the truck and not something related to remote start.

An added advantage to using the lock button is that it prevents thieves from stealing the key fob code and being able to open your doors. I've read elsewhere that it is becoming more and more common for codes to be intercepted.

Ford calls that feature "Car Finder". Annoying as hell... especially in your remote start case. I have been able to disable it on other vehicles, but I don't think it's possible on your 2013. It's usually in the manual if it's at all possible. It's not even a setting in the dash's info center. I guess anything you find is worth a try though.

Your aftermarket remote starter ("Cromestopper" maybe) also has optional horn control functions (if connected). It might be worth asking the installer if the aftermarket system could override it somehow.

If it were my truck, I might consider adding a switch in the cab somewhere to totally disable the horn as a last resort. At least you could turn it back on. Or maybe investigate the horn wiring and see if you can disconnect or cut the horn control wire for only those annoying functions.
