Alarm/lock beep

mr_awol · 10-09-2008, 14:55

I have heard on here that the 'alarm beep' can be set via VAG-Com. I take it this will mean that there will be a beep as the doors are locked and unlocked?

If so, how loud is it? Is it a 'chirp' or a honk of the horn?

I dont want it turned on if it is a loud honk, but might like it if it is a typical alarmy on/off chirp

It's a non intrusive 'chirp' and you can configure it to do it on either lock, unlock or both

bertJ · 10-09-2008, 16:59

Mine will only 'chirp' on locking. It was set using maxi-dot. Can it be made to 'double chirp' on unlocking using VAG Com?
TBH the locking chirp is very feeble and I can never hear it in a busy street - far better to look at the flashers for visual confirmation.

Yes, I've done mine with VagCom

I don't find that's the case with my Fabia. I've set it to chirp when locking and find it useful to confirm that I've locked the car. It's easily loud enough for that use - in my case anyway.

My previous Fabia with the factory fitted alarm had an extremely loud lock/unlock sound - far louder than the Octavia. So much so that I had it turned off as it was very disturbing for the neighbours.

I only use mine to notify me when it's locked.

There is a third option of a chirp if the alarm has been activated.

smstext · 10-09-2008, 22:39

i currently only have lock confirmation on bleep. the unlock became annoying when leaving sinisters house late at night and to give peace to her neighbours i deactivated it. currently have indicator flashes on all lock and delocks. the bleep can also be activated to either blip lock/unlock and key hole lock/unlock (using key in the lock)

**VRStu** · 10-09-2008, 22:55

Have a look down the list in the Long Coding Helper you'll see it.

smstext · 10-09-2008, 23:20

Have set mine - locking and unlocking, and i can tell what you meant now. TBH it is quieter than i was expecting but at least it isnt really leary - certainly no worry about waking up the neighbours!

smstext · 19-09-2008, 01:36

i found the alarm notification stu, enabled it, found a deserted area, sat in the car, triggered the alarm and after if finished press the unlock button (as if i had come back from the shops) and heard/saw/flashed nothing. just the usual 2 quick indicator flashes with nothing to tell me the alarm has been triggered.

zx6rick · 02-11-2008, 11:51

hi so how do i go about change my fabia to not beeb can it only be done at a dealers

mikeholroyd · 02-11-2008, 13:13

I had mine set by Skoda on my Octy II Elegance to beep on unlock and lock. Quite disappointed actually as it always beeps on locking, but seems to beep on unlocking only after pressing unlock 2 or 3 times! Hasn't affected the locking or alarm functions though, so not bothering to take it back.

Fabia 12v · 02-11-2008, 13:17

I set it on my Polo and it sounds like this...

smstext · 02-11-2008, 14:02

well ive tried to set it to tell me when the alarm goes off and still cant figure out why it doesnt. do i need to have the unlocked chirp activated to for the alarm's been activated chirp to work?

Wardy · 02-11-2008, 15:50

No, you should be able to choose either, or both, independantly. For example, I just have the lock beep on, because I want to be sure the request has worked.

Can't be 100% on the procedure for the Octy2; possibly slightly different with the CAN interface.

Steve

smstext · 02-11-2008, 18:09

ive got the option for each (including indicators flash) for alarm and key activation lock/unlock. might have another look at this at the weeekend.

Big Mikey · 02-11-2008, 20:38

I have covered this before but the indicators don't flash when I lock my Octy - can this be altered with VAG com?
