Beep when locking car

On my 2000 XK8 there is no neat little chirp when I lock my car like there is on the X300. Has anyone done the work to install such a neat chirp on their XK? I would sure like to do that. And also have it turn on the interior lights and parking lights when unlocking.

Here in the UK the lock/unlock chirps are turned off only the indicator lights flash.
But I do get a single long chirp if I deadlock the doors by pressing the lock button twice within 3 seconds. Worth trying to find out if you get any chirp at all.
As Jon89 and ccfulton said it is possible for the dealer to enable or disable it

My car is in storage now but, as I recall, I get a different variation:
When I lock the Car with the Fob there is no Chirp, just the sound of the Lock Mechanism.
If I subsequently press the Fob Lock Button (with the Car already locked) there is a short Chirp.
The same with the UnLock, First Button push produces action, second push produces Chirp.

My 2001 XKR chirps once when locked and twice when unlocked and lights on outside of car IE. Headlights and rear brake lights also blink at same time as chirps.
Chirps are sooo much better then horn honk.
Never fails, someone locks their car and horn honks, I look around to see if someone did something wrong or trying to get my attention or something.
horn honking should be illegal!! LOL

Happy Motoring...

I guess I'm not as observant as the others on this thread but I can confirm both chirps and light flashes when locking and unlocking with the fob. I can't remember how many chirps for these actions.
That said, I'd also be interested in learning what options can be set. My X-Type has one touch up and down windows whereas my XKR has only one touch down windows. I'd love it if I could get one touch up windows on my XKR.
