Quiet beeping when locking car
Hi,
Recently my car has started making 3 short quiet beeps when the car switches off and locks - its very strange and i'm pretty sure its not done it until recently.
I can't see any warnings on the dash and nothing obvious. It sort of sounds like its coming from the bonnet area - but hard to tell as the volume is low.
Any ideas what it might be or indicate?
Thanks!

Re: Quiet beeping when locking car

Can't hear anything on that video, but could it be a low battery warning for the alarm?
Re: Quiet beeping when locking car
You don’t have anything plugged in to the USB ports that beep when they lose power? Like a dash cam recorder?

Re: Quiet beeping when locking car
Sounds like the valves on the exhaust closing
Re: Quiet beeping when locking car
I can hear something,but it is overpowered by the sound of your door mirrors folding. Try turning the mirrors off and listen again.
Edit: when you remotely close the tailgate it makes a 3 toned blip maybe it’s a problem there.

Re: Quiet beeping when locking car
thanks all - will try and get a quieter environment to record
Nothing plugged into USB port except for a hard disk with music
@Eddie - i didn't think you could close the tailgate remotely?

Re: Quiet beeping when locking car
Only works if you have advanced key or modified it with VCDS or similar. Plus you can be anywhere in range of the car not necessarily at the rear but need ignition off I think.Eddie555 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 10:10 pmPress and hold the remote whilst standing at the rear of the car.Moonmonkey831 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 8:12 pmthanks all - will try and get a quieter environment to record

My RS6 might have been a bit temperamental. It only worked while I was standing behind it.MikeFish wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 11:23 pmOnly works if you have advanced key or modified it with VCDS or similar.

Re: Quiet beeping when locking car
Advanced key remote boot closing requires the fob to be detected with a couple of feet of the rear of the vehicle.

Quiet beeping when locking car
Ok well I can close the boot remotely so I learnt something new!
However the beeps that the closing routine does are a lot louder than than the others I’m hearing. Still stumped.
I also learnt today that wearing polaroid sunglasses renders the head up display useless!

Re: Quiet beeping when locking car
Mike it must be cause you have reprogrammed yours to do it. I wasn’t imagining it because I tried the Q7 today and 1 step forward beyond the rear bumper standing by the rear quarter panel and it doesn’t work, if I step back just past the rear bumper and it’ll shut. Actually it’ll shut at the range distance as long as you’re behind the car, it just doesn’t work anywhere in front. It must have something to do with being able to see what’s in the boot area.

Re: Quiet beeping when locking car
Yeah though that might be the case but that's what I thought the loud beeps were for.
