Enabling alarm beep - anyone have step by step instructions for the dealer?

I want to have my dealer enable the lock / unlock beep next time I bring the car in for service.

Because this is a 2005 the Netherlands setting is NOT the right way to do it.

There is a "USA with buzzer" setting somewhere within the star diagnostics software which enables the beeping.

Can someone post step by step directions on where to go in the star computer to enable this?

I've searched all over this forum and another but I cannot find directions anywhere. Thanks for any help.

Oddly enough, I just had this setting programed on my car last week when I was getting Service A. Unfortunately, I have no idea how it was done, all I know is $50 later it chirps when I lock and unlock the doors. If you don't get a response with instructions and your local dealership doesn't know how, have them call Ewing Autohaus in Dallas (866) 870-0485.

Thanks for trying to help, but as far as I know that is the incorrect way to do it on a 2005+ because there is an easier way that keeps the country set to US and does not remove the panic feature. Also the beeping is different.
