IIRC, there isn't a way to have it beep instead of the horn, however you can turn the horn off when you use the i-key to look the doors. The hazard lights will still flash twice, but you won't hear the horn. You can change the indicator modes by pressing the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on your i-key simultaneously for more than 2 seconds.

Exactly. My personal preference, but I like to have the horn off when I press the I-key.

Having the car beep when you lock it using the i-key is very Lexus-ish. However, I like that idea more than the horn. It would be neat if it were possible...

i tried this a couple of weeks ago, but if i recall correctly, it also turns off the beep of the door handle button. not optimal. it'd be better if the two were independant of each other.

I am not sure if the G37 is different, but I am able to still have it beep when I use the door handle.

Personally, I like the beep. It makes it easier to figure out where I've parked when I can't remember what level in the parking garage I'm on

I swear I read the LOCK + UNLock for 2 seconds like three times and tried it 3 times and it still honks at me.

Alright, I just did the math and it may be that I need to do it once more but that will have to wait until this weekend.

Thanks for putting my math at ease
