Its a shot on the dark but I would try to disconnect the negative battery terminal for a few minutes and see if that will reset the computer. Remember if you do this and you have a stock stereo and you have it locked with a code to remember it. Otherwise once you connect the terminal back up and turn the car on the radio will not work until the correct code has been entered.

I have another annoying beep. Mine starts beeping the moment I insert the key, and will keep beeping until I start the car. This is with the doors closed. I don't remember it doing this before?

check to see if the airbag light comes on when you first start the car. If it does not, then it's 2 things. 1. You're airbag light is either blown or was taken out (mine, and also another member here, the lights were removed from the cluster). 2. Most likely there is an issue with the airbag system. Most likely cause is the clockspring, but you won't be able to tell unless you can see what the flashing code is.

so could the beeping be from a DTC that doesnt turn on the light... also notice that it only happens when i use my remote START
