True, but if it chirps twice, is the alarm set?

It is, but the second chirp really isn't necessary if you are by the truck and can hear the door(s) lock. I like that feature for when I roll up home at like midnight and I can lock the car and not have to be that guy and have his horn honk

don't know. I think not, but have never tested it.

I think his point is that pushing the lock button more then once can't do anything negative to the security system.

OK, where I am going with this..

If a door is ajar, or, you have a bad door switch, the horn will chirp twice when you push the fob lock button.

I do not think the alarm will set in this case.

If the horn chirps twice, you are correct, the alarm will not set. I know this because when I bought my X it had a bad latch so the door switch didn't function properly.

Correct. Two horn chirps means something is open; the doors do not lock and the alarm does not set. If you press the lock button once (and all the doors, etc are closed) no horn chirp, doors lock and alarm sets. A second push of the lock button gives you one horn chirp; doors stay locked and alarm stays set.
