Alarm confirmation tone - car changes setting itself.

IJWS15 · 18-08-2008, 08:11

I have the alarm confirmation tone set to silent.

Yesterday I locked the car and it beeped!

I went into MFD and re-set it to silent.

This is the third time I have had to do it, what do I need to do to stop it changing the settings on its own? Probably 6-7k to next service and it is a minor issue to spend a couple of hours going into a dealer over.

Car is 4 1/2 months old.

Not been in to the settings since I last turned it off!

Happened to me once, not since I switched the chirp off again.

Possibly a low battery not putting out enough juice for everything, at times?

Happened to me again this week, but car had been in with the dealer so possibly they reset it back to factory settings.

Finally realised what this is . . . . .

I reprogrammed the car to silence the bleep with the key I normally use in the ignition. Also set to open all doors on one push. Did not do the same with the other key.

Now when I pick up the spare key to get something out of the car . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . it only unlocks the drivers door on the first push and bleeps when I lock it.

Must reprogram for the second key, and RTFM
