beeping sound when you lock & unlock car?

just got the car back from the dealer, had to fix the light on the inner trunk lid that wasn't working. reading the work order, they replaced a controler, wires, and the whole assembly. now when i lock the car it beeps twice, once when i unlock the car. is this normal? or is something else wrong?

I have a 2004 which did not do this but it is a feature of this car. I asked the dealer to enable it and they charged me 1/2 hour labor to do it.

Be happy, you just saved yourself having to pay for it to be enabled.

I've read this posted before. I have an '05 and it's beeped confirmation since day one. Older W211's don't do this, but I don't know when the switch took place. Anyway, a few have posted that when some module was replaced, the car started beeping on locking and unlocking. It's normal. Can it be turned off? I don't know.

The rear SAM (whatever that is) can be recoded to turn in on so I assume that it can be recoded to turn it off.

All the 211's can be programmed to enable the beep.

You have brought up a similar experience from me. We took delivery of the car in 11/03. It never beeped when locked or unlocked and I did not even know the beep existed, only the light flashed. About a year ago when the car did not start in the garage and had to be towed to the dealer to replace the battery and many other electronic issues like the alarm would go off in the middle of night by itself . After repair, the car came back with the correct beep tone!
Amazing to say the least!

What kind of tone is it? Is it like the BMW chirp or the Toyota one?

Here is a clip made by a member from the C230 forums (W203). I'm assuming the sound will probably be the same as your cars.
