Default DIY is a PITA. Someone did a write up I think, try searching for it.

Also, it could be your main battery losing charge and not charging the alarm battery. A few folks have gotten rid of this beeping after replacing/re-charging their main battery.

Dealer would be the place to get a spare unfortunately.

Default Happened on and off for about a month on my car.

Then it finally stopped. I then noticed that my car would not beep after I locked it. I always used to get one quick beep whenever I pressed lock on my key.

Oh well, minor loss and definitely not worth it for me to take it in and drop $300 or whatever it will be to fix it. Don't really need a security system anyways.
