Rapid beeping after auto-lock beep...

[MidnightMonolith]

Not sure if this is an Si thing or across the platform, but it seems like a platform thing. After reading the other rapid beeping thread from April of last year I've started to pay more attention to my own. Tonight after spending one of my many nights working in the garage I noticed something weird that I can get to repeat 100% of the time and wanted to see if anyone else has noticed/has this.

So I close one of the doors to the car...auto lock beeps...then I just stand there for a second and then move the key fob closer to the car (I held it over the sunroof) and then I get the rapid beeping. The car then does NOT auto-lock after the beeping. I have to use the fob or open the door and walk away to get it to lock again.

Not a super big problem (annoying...maybe), but I was more curious if anyone else can duplicate this "issue" or is my car just special?

The vehicle thinks the key fob is still inside the vehicle. Try just leaving it in the seat and let it try to auto lock. It makes the same beeping.

I get this with auto-lock on and go directly to the trunk with keys in my pocket instead of "walking away"

From the manual:

Do not put the smart entry remote on the dashboard or in the glove box. It may cause the warning buzzer to activate. Under some other conditions that can prevent the vehicle from locating the remote, the warning buzzer may also activate even if the remote is within the system’s operational range.

From the manual:

So, in other words...it does things...and we don't know why or how to fix it. Pay no attention...

Makes total sense....I guess. Seems like the interior sensor just may be too sensitive. I had the auto-lock on my Speed 6 and never had this happen so I was unsure about this. Guess I'll just close my doors and make a run for it. Thanks!

Yup, everything from above. It'll also beep like hell if you get out while the car is running and take the key with you, but only if you close the door all the way. Leave it open and no beeps.

I keep mine on a caribiner attached to my belt.

I blame this practice from working too many years in a prison and dealing with keys.

At least you were WORKING there and not a 'guest'...
