After bringing the car back to the dealer to get the alarm system fixed (it was bad because it went off randomly and made ticking noises from under the front passenger wheel well even when the car was off), our C320 now makes chirping noises when I lock it or unlock it. I thought that they activated the Netherlands feature but I can still use the panic feature?!?!

Does it beep once for unlock and 3x for lock? Then that would be that "Netherland" feature thingy.

Probably not. Relax though. No one else has the panic feature still, I sure as hell don't. Consider yourself lucky

What year is your car? Maybe something changed between 2002 and 2003 if it is a 2003.
