Totally agree. Frustrating. Somewhat easier to take once you accept the fact that Honda will neither acknowledge the problem, nor do anything about it. Dealers are clueless. And don't get me wrong. I love Honda. It's basically a sign of the times.
It's a great feature if you don't need to get in the car in your garage without always having the fob. I had the feature on for a while. I found it inconvenient when I always had to have the fob on me to grab something from the car or if my kids needed something. I finally turned it off. Would be great if there was a way for auto lock not to work in a zoned area like my garage. But I never had a glitch with the walk away. It always worked for me. It's easy enough to just press button on handlento lock. Key stays in my pocket from time I leave for work until I come home.
My thoughts exactly. I had this feature turned on for the first few weeks , and it did what it is supposed to do.....but going back to the beginning of time, I am used to having my car unlocked when it is safely in my garage at home... and not needing my keys with me when going to my car for any reason. So yesterday I turned walk-away lock off. When away from home, I'll have to re-train myself to lock it (it's easy enough to do....we have 3 other ways to lock the doors).
Too risky to leave the fob in the car?
I'm a cautious person to begin with, so I wouldnt. Even the safest neighborhood has the occasional problem
I hear ya. Leaving it unlocked in a locked garage is one thing. But leaving the keys in it, I don't think I could sleep at night.
Totally agree. I can't even remember the last time I pulled out my keys. Super convenient. Also, "did I lock the car" is a thought I willl never have again.
I love the feature, but also get the multi beep once in a while. I find it annoying and don't know the reason. Does anyone have a valid explanation why this happens? Something I missed in the manual or something a Honda tech has advised?

I noticed this happened once when I messed with the automatic lights and left them on, or if someone stayed behind and the car didn't lock. If you forget your keys inside that is the sound you get too. This happened to me a few times but it happened when something was wrong. It is a heads up to tell you that the car didn't close too.
I am 100% sure it has nothing to do with automatic lights. I have had that set for 8 months, I always leave the lights on auto. It is a great feature, my 08 Altima had it too, left those lights set on auto for 4 years. Regarding the fob key, RF proximity is not an exact science the fob is still in the RF field sometimes when you are standing beside the car, especially by driver side door. RF fields fluctuate slightly, hence the random multi beeps. I clued into this yesterday when I read a few more posts on the subject. Mystery solved.
