Central locking 'beep'

[Chucker]

Just handed in my MK3 Elegance from PCP and picked up a new SE Sport with a few extra toys - all feels very familiar (except the super speedy higher-def sat nav - which is a relief!)

 

One question, on locking the car there's no audible confirmation (other than the central locking itself), have been through the setup menus but cannot find this anywhere...has the central locking beep confirmation gone from more recent models? If so, I'll miss it!

I don't have it on my 66 plate .

[Auric Goldfinger]

My 230 has it, needs a tweak with a VCDS  In my signature " Alarm chirp "

 

 

Beep Beep

Thanks - it used to be a selectable option in the setup menu of the infotainment thing.  Shame it's missing, but Smartlink and a better sat-nav seems like a fair swap.

I think it appears in the menu once tweaked.

Appeared in my 2016 VRS menu without any tweaks!

Anyone knows how to code the lock/unlock sound and also activate so that it shows in the Bolero menu?

Thanx!

same for my 2016 VRS... selectable without and VCDS tweaking

[Wiz83]

Here in Sweden it's not an option as it's forbidden, but I want it anyways  

Please help!

I've got a MY17 SE Sport and even when enabling the option via vcds and obdeleven, it wouldn't appear in the settings. 

 

It gave me peace of mind as I knew I could easily tell that I've locked the car without really looking and when little scrotes were fannying around near the car I could press the lock button and made them disappear half the time.

 

Gave up trying now :(

It's in the infotainment system menu's look in CAR menu's I think.

Ok so it doesnt appear in settings but does it work, do you get any sound when you lock/unlock?

Also, can you tell me what steps you did with OBD11 and where you found the guide?

[gRoberts]

I tried both the single click app and manually using details on Ross Tech - http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Skoda_Octavia_(1Z)_Comfort_System

 

Neither have made any difference.

My 17 plate vrs tdi doesn't have it on the infotainment menu. Only shows which door single or all opens when unlocked and remote window wind down

Nice one Skoda!

 

My neighbour has it active on his MkIII. When he is out in the morning and on a night... beep, beep-beep, beep, beep-beep, beep etc. I can only assume he is quite forgetful.

 

Turned off on my MkIII. The audible thunk as the lock latches engage is more than enough. If you're in the house and can't hear the thunk then the flash of the hazard lights does a fine job instead.

 

Its the same as those people who have every single notification option on their phone turned on so it is constantly beeping and vibrating!

I know it's in there somewhere, you may need to have the ignition switched on to find it as some options only appear once it's on.

Chirp is only there if you had OEM Alarm fitted. The alarm is not standard in all countries, it is an optional extra, but if you bought from forecourt the garage may have ordered it with the car. I ordered mine to spec and never ordered the alarm (an oversight) and no chirp available through any settings etc. 

It may be possible to activate via VCDS, I haven't tried so I can't be certain. 

Retro fitting the OEM alarm is possible by a good alarm guy. He can wire into existing system using canbus communication and your original key will operate everything, no need for extra alarm fob like usual when aftermarket alarm done. He needs to fit siren and sensors and then configure settings using VCDS I guess. 

 

I did order folding mirrors on mine, so I know its locked if the mirrors are tucked in. 

 

Also fitted a neat system that uses an app on my phone to lock/unlock car if my keys get locked in, or my wife can use her phone to unlock car and get in instead of waiting for me to come back to car etc.

If I remember right, there was another thread a while back after a model year change that the module that makes the chirp was removed from some models so even if you can re-enable the menu option it wont work.

[gregoir]

It's there in my car but you need to scroll up the screen to reveal the option for the chirp. Well hidden.

[andyvee]

It got removed at a MY change. I had to enable it with VCDS on Auric's car, both the menu item and the 'chirp'.

[Wiz83]

Hi Andyvee,

So it's not possible to activate on a late 2014 (MY 15) vRS?

 

Can you please give me the steps to enable both the chirp and menu?

To try on an older MY.

Thnx!

Really easy to work out if you know what you are doing, but since the rise of OBD Eleven users on this forum I have stopped updating 'how to' guides as I don't believe in supporting a product (or people that buy that product) that has 'allegedly' stolen intellectual property from the market leaders.

Yes it can be activated on a MY17 car, FWIW there is no need to turn the chirps on with VCDS once the below has been activated as you can now turn them on and off yourself in the infotainment set up:

 

https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/380829-superb-mkiii-vcds-adaptations-tried-and-tested/?do=findComment&comment=4742527 - yes I know it’s in the superb section because I have done it on a few Superb’s, but the process is the same for the O3:

 

 

 

Activating alarm chirps locking/unlocking

 

I noticed on a MY17 L&K that there is no option to turn the alarm chirps (Acoustic confirmation) in the infotainment.

 

Controller 09 - Central Electronics

16 - Security Access - enter 31347

10 - Adaptations

 

 

Go to:

IDE02269-ENG122188-Acknowledgement signals-Menuesteuerung akustische Rueckmeldung

 

Change to active

 

You will now have the Acoustic Confirmation option in the infotainment screen.

FWIW my steps posted above are done with VCDS, no idea if it is possible with other interfaces....
