12v Siren

Hi. I have a 12v/15w siren with a few tones on it that i would like to add to my car. Does anyone know how to make only one of those tones play? It is currently cycling through all of them.
Thank you

It probably has a control console that is associated with it, and you would have to use it to control the tones. Have you googled the brand and model yet?

no its just the siren with two wires. there is no brand name on it, only 12v/15w Made In Taiwan. Do you know how the console could work? different electrical pulses, different current intensity?

It would be an electronic console, to send signals to the siren, electronically, not manually. There may be a set of relays inside the siren that switch from one tone to the next, but you would have to take it apart to see if that was the case. Was this a deal on ebay?

The alarm system may have had a processor built in sending the signals for the different tones.
