If you MUST have the "chirp" and a single key fob, replace the OEM keyless entry with a keyless entry or alarm system that will integrate with your remote start or a combination alarm/remote start. Then you can have a single key fob with the "chirp".

most remote start systems have an "activation input" which can be with to the positve lock motor wire. not all but some, then locking the doors twice from the factory alarm remote will activate the remote start. so in a round about way its intergrated, this would keep his chirp and would run everything from one remote (factory). The downside is more often then not the aftermarket remote will have a better range. its a give and take. an other option would be to wire an alarm siren to the horn honk output off the remote start. the chirp won't be the same tone as the toyota one but it would chirp, when and how depends on each brand of remote start, or if possible. either option the installer is justified in charging for the extra labor. if money wasn't an option, you could pay the shops hourly rate to find the factory siren and try to wire directly, i'm not 100% sure its possible, i never look to see when i did mine.
