Keyless Entry Noise


Recommended Posts

The storage box between the seats. If you do not latch the lid you get a single beep when you set the alarm. All other entry points are armed after you set the alarm, just not the box.

I have been doing this for years. I am usually in a hurry and buy the time I push the alarm/lock button I am walking away from the car so I can't see the lights flash. So I listen for the single beep to let me know the alarm is in fact on.

I inadvertently caused a short, single honk upon locking when I changed my factory radio (2002 C4S). There is a contact arm on the left side of the radio DIN box that hits a nylon pad built into the side of the factory radio (about the size of a postage stamp.) If this contact arm is grounded by installing a replacement radio without the nylon pad, the car will chirp to let you know that something has changed.

It is easy to slide the radio out to get access to this contact ... and there may be a way you can figure out to fool the contact into thinking your radio has been removed to cause the chirp you desire (i.e., some way to easily ground it or bend it)

FWIW, I put a piece of tape on the side of my new head unit to shut the chirp off.

just found a better way to deal with this:

leave the centre console lid in open position, there's a metal spring thing on the passenger side of the 'lid catcher'. simply push that spring thing all the way in the direction towards front of the car, until it got stuck behind the plastic lining

this would disable the 'lid closure sensor' in a way, so you can fully close the lid and still get a 'horn' when remote lock the car.

I havnt experienced any trouble with this method.. so far :-) and it's totally reversible

I noticed that this only works if you leave the glove box open not the center console. Has anyone found the sensor for the glove box?

use a screwdriver to push the spring towards the front of the car until it's been caught by the plastic ... i hope i explained it clear enough

Thanks for the picture, this works great for the center console... takes about 5-10 seconds after locking for the horn to honk.

Great little hack! Thanks again! :lol:
