Activating Sound Signal on X-Safe XS01 DDS Car Alarm: English Translation for Russian Users

@ElektrodaBot як включити звуковий сигнал без програматора?

Initial assessment of available information
- Your alarm is the X‑Safe XS01 DDS CAN. In the excerpt you posted, two distinct modes are described:
- 4a: “function programming” (changing system options such as loud/silent).
- 4b: “remote programming” (adding fobs/DFBS).
- The Polish line “Funkcje wybierane są poprzez naciśnięcie odpowiedniego przycisku programatora.” explicitly states that functions are selected with a dedicated programmer (QY-system programmer), not with the hand-held remote alone.
- Function 1 in the table is the one that switches the system between LOUD (audible chirps) and SILENT operation.

Direct answer to the question
Without the QY programmer you cannot reliably switch Function 1 from SILENT to LOUD on the XS01. The remote lets you enter programming mode, but the actual function selection/toggling is performed from the dedicated programmer. In short: enabling the “pik‑pik” confirmation without a programmer is not supported on this model.

Detailed problem analysis
- What the remote can do:
- Enter programming framework (ignition ON, DFBS disarmed, hold hidden/valet switch, press UNLOCK 5×).
- From there you can branch to 4b and add/delete remotes (and only that).
- What requires the QY programmer:
- Branch 4a (function programming), including Function 1 “OBSŁUGA ALARMU GŁOŚNA/CICHA” (audible vs silent).
- Other options in your table (double lock impulse, comfort close, autolock while driving, self‑arming, channel behaviors, horn during alarm, PIN code).
- Why some online tips appear to work on other alarms:
- Many aftermarket alarms allow cycling functions using remote button presses once in programming. The XS01 documentation is clear it needs the programmer for function selection. Attempting to “guess” with remote buttons typically lands you back in 4b (fob programming) and won’t change Function 1.
- Distinguish two “sounds”:
- “Mini speaker” confirmation: a tiny buzzer in the ECU confirming mode entry; it is not the exterior siren chirp on arm/disarm.
- Siren/horn chirps: produced by the siren output and controlled by Function 1 (LOUD/SILENT). If Function 1 is SILENT, arming/disarming chirps are suppressed even if the siren itself is healthy.

Practical guidelines
If you still want to proceed without the programmer, first verify it isn’t a wiring/fuse issue and that the siren works:
- Siren health check
- Trigger a full alarm (open a door with the system armed). If the siren sounds during an alarm, but you get no “chirps” on arm/disarm, the unit is most likely in SILENT mode → needs the programmer to change Function 1.
- If the siren never sounds, check the siren fuse, connectors, and siren power/ground. Many sirens are 2‑wire (red +12 V from alarm, black GND). A quick bench test with fused +12 V will confirm the siren itself.
- Remote programming (what you can do without the programmer)
- The “black–orange short” procedure in your excerpt is only for putting the unit into remote/DFBS learning mode (4b). It will not alter Function 1.
- Realistic options to enable chirps
- Borrow or have a shop use a QY-system programmer to set Function 1 = GŁOŚNA (LOUD). This takes minutes once connected.
- If a programmer cannot be sourced, consider replacing the control unit with a modern alarm that supports user-level programming via the remote/app; you can usually reuse most of the vehicle-side wiring.

Ethical and legal aspects
- In some regions audible arming/disarming “chirps” are restricted by local noise ordinances or dealership policies. Verify local rules before enabling loud confirmations.

Suggestions for further action
- Contact an installer who still services Polish/AMT/X‑Safe systems; many have the QY programmer.
- If keeping the system long-term is important, ask the shop to print or note your current function map (so you know exactly how the car is configured).
- If service tools are unavailable in your area, migrating to a current alarm platform may save time and provide better support.

Brief summary
- The XS01 requires the QY programmer to change system functions. Function 1 controls the audible/silent behavior. Without that tool, you can program remotes but cannot reliably enable the “pik‑pik” chirps. First confirm the siren works; then plan either to have a shop toggle Function 1 to LOUD or replace the unit with a model that allows user programming.

Questions for you
- When you trigger a full alarm, does the siren sound?
- Do you know the location of the hidden/valet switch and can you confirm you can enter mode 4b (remote programming)?
- Are you trying to enable only arming/disarming chirps, or also horn output during alarm events?
- Do you have access to any installer who might have a QY programmer?
