i have had my keyless entry beep for about a year now,and it was fairly loud but the sound has diminished,and it seems as if the voloume has been turned down on it for some reason,anyone experiance this?
i am talking about the 1 beep unlock,and 3 beeps lock sound

most people in the US dont have the chirp turned on. I for one have never heard the sound of it. How loud is it supposed to be?

I have it turned on and the sound has stayed the same...and I LOVE this feature....should NOT be hidden...

I think it would be annoying to hear 3 beeps each time I lock the car. Heck, if I wasn't annoyed, my neighbors sure would be.

i was thinking just the other day it would be nice if it chirped or beeped or something. sometimes as im walking away and locking the car i look back just to see if the lights are flashing. if it beeped or something i would know. is it something the dealer has to set?

tberry

yes and its fairly loud...the 3 beeps when locking could get annoying but its nice to know when walking away in a hurry. Its the Netherlands setup (details can be found when searched or read the FAQs on csportcoupe forum).

Let's not get carried away. It's not like they're airhorns or anything. I still really like it.

Bob, sounds like your speaker might be dying. I've had mine for over a year now with no change to the volume level.

I'm not so lazy that I can't turn my head around and see the lights flashing. That's all I need... No flames intended. I just don't buy the need for the chirp. I expect that from a CMC-installed aftermarket alarm system.

Alright, I'll come clean. I'm just trying to ruffle Bagwell's and tommy's feathers... hehehe

Bobdole

soo would the dealer replace the speaker under warranty?

tommy

I'd assume so, if that's the problem. Anyone know if that speaker (or whatever it is) shares time with anything else, like reminder tones or anything?

Buell said that you can replace it with the speaker from the A10-equipped cars, and it sounds much better.

Bob - it's year-end at the big G. I think that my feathers are beyond ruffled right now, but thanks for trying.

I've the chirp and it's a great feature. The sound isn't as cool as the BMW chirp/whine/animal stangling sound but, it's a nice feature. Oh, no speaker volume lessening in 6 months.
