Call me stupid or spoiled, but I would like to have my car (997.1) let me know when it is locked and secure. Yes I can wait for the double flash of the lights, but this can be tedious and requires that I keep looking and waiting for the flash. I know that there are some ways to fool the car (leave open glove box, hood Etc.), but what happens if I really leave open the hood. Also I know about the Aftermarket Remote Key 997 from mods4cars, but that also has a bunch of other things that I don’t need. I also read that is some countries it is mandatory, but I have not confirmed that.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE DEALER DOES THIS AND/OR OF A SIMPLE MOD?

 

This is a simple mod

Yes I know Thanks.
I just don’t need the other options that it does. I just sent them an email asking how it handles the options that the car already has (like Mirror Assist).
Either way i was hoping for a single use mod and/or a dealer mod.

Thanks Again.

 

I'd also love this as I don't care about the other features either..just a simple chirp and maybe 2 chirps for lock..or, other way around...

Anyone? Anyone?

Thanks!

 

anyone what? get mods4cars unit - it wlll do exactly that. car chirps when closed/open.

 

Use only the ones you want, and don't turn on the ones you don't want to use.

Very simple to use.

Here are the instructions

Wow, I wonder what part of: "We DONT want to use Smart Top Remote Key" dont you guys get?

Is there a DIFFERENT way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Steve

PS: We dont want to use Smart Top to accomplish this. Thanks!

 

No other way to get the horn to beep upon locking and unlocking, unless you get some custom wiring done. I would imagine that this would cost a lot more to do a custom job with no guarantee. But if you want to take the difficult path, go for it.

 

This is a great post, something I've thought about quite often myself. Often times I haven't been sure if the car is locked, and will go back to check the doors. About 20% of the time, it actually isn't locked. Maybe my finger misfires the button or whatever. And also, I'm spoiled by BMW with the nice beeps.

It sounds theoretically straightforward to have something wired from the door locking sensors? After all, there is that little red light that blinks when it's locked.

 

Perhaps you cAn find a way to accomplish this that the rest of us could not, over the past 5 years.
If so, that would be great!

 

I think you could carry an air horn on a rope around your neck, and when you lock the car, actuate the air horn a few times to remind youself that it's locked.

LOL to all. You guys are great. I am on it and will update ASAP. Give me a week!

was done to mine after a minor repair and i didnt even ask for it.

 

Will be taking the car in for some minor work, will see if they can do it to my 2010 MY....will report back

 

i did ask recently they said no way to make it chirp
