unofix Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The horn 'chirp' that is very common in North America and some other countries when locking/unlocking, is no longer allowed in the UK and was stopped sometime before 2010 (don't know the exact year). Some models still do have the function to 'chirp' (those sold in countries that still allow it) and therefore using the software FORScan it may be possible to turn that function on, but I'd advise against it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbocat Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 thanks unofix.if its a easy fix through the sync 3 settings i would like it on, i keep double checking its locked, so used to hearing chirp on all cars i have had. jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 If the function to 'chirp' still exists on a 2023 model, then you will only be able to activate it by using FORScan and a vLinker FS cable. It will not be an option that can be turned on in either Sync3 or the instrument cluster menu as it is no longer allowed in the UK. If you get a laptop then download FORScan and connect up to the OBDII port you will be able to check if the option is still available, possibly in the Body Control Module. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyboy Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 on my car the sound of the locks working is enough to let me know that they've locked, that's one thing that I like about power fold mirrors they give a visible sign that the doors are locked. I never liked the chirp when locking at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
