Default Horn going off

This may be a dumb question but, is there any way to bypass and prevent the horn from going off when I get in my car with out using the remote keyless entry? I'm in Germany and I don't have the remote with me and its kind of annoying having to turn the car on in order to kill the horn. My car has T-tops.

Is there anything I can do or am i just gonna have to live with it?

The only way is to disable the alarm system by programming it not to arm. More information in this post.

Or you can grab a key fob off ebay for a few euro. I had the same problem and that's what I did.

And if for some reason you cannot get into the programming mode, just lock your car with the key. It only arms if you use the door buttons, or keyfob buttons. But +1 to disabling the alarm.
