Changing the beep volume for walk away door lock

[Jens_sedanEX18]

Not sure if that’s doable or not but is there a way to change the volume of the door lock when you lock your car doors? Sometimes I walk away from my car and I hear it beep once but I get far enough and I have a hard time hearing the second beep. Im hard of hearing as it is but was wondering if there’s a setting somewhere. Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no way of changing the volume of that through the settings. You have a choice of having it either ON/OFF. With that said, I myself just rely on the flash of the turn signals to indicate a successful lock/unlock. But I do understand the need/want to be able to hear your car from afar. I’m sure it’s doable to someone who really tinkers with the unit itself or software...

I believe some members here wired whatever triggers their beep to honk the horn instead. One of the posters here made a setup that he can use to control the beep through an arduino: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/anyone-changed-lock-alert-beep-into-honk.39970/#post-766577

There should be something on the forum that more or less is a direct connection from the beeper to the horn. I've no clue about the electronics for this though.

Well really if it beeps once it’ll do the second beep. So as long as you hear the first on you’re good. On the other hand when you hear it panic beeping then you know it wasn’t locked. Just lock the car with the remote if you want to be sure it’s locked

If anyone decides to hook up some hella horns to the beeper mechanism, please post a vid
