Locking via button vs fob; once vs twice
So, this quirk of the car irritates me to no end, and I'm not sure if there's any solution for it...
When you lock the horn via the door, it chirps.
When you lock the door via the fob, it honks the horn (presumably because you're further away from the car, so it needs to be louder... or whatever).
My issue is the following:
Via fob: Lock = 1 horn Unlock = 2 horn ***edit*** It doesn't actually honk when unlocking. Duh.
Via door: Lock = 2 chirp Unlock = 1 chirp
WTF. Why are these not synced? I want to have it in my head as 1 = this, 2 = that without having to think about which method I'm using to lock the car and what it means in that particular instance.
I know you can disable the notification, but I like having the audible confirmation of what I just did.
Any thoughts?

I've noticed this as well.. It's actually become part of my habit to give a quick pull on the door handle when using the button to confirm it is locked. When using the fob I just look at what button my finger is on.

I believe it is lock and unlock at the same time to turn off the alert.. It's in one of the "tricks of the fob" threads on here somewhere. Holding down unlock to put the windows down has legitimately changed my life the past month.

Still wish you could match the beeps, though. 1 for lock, 2 for unlock. Oh well...
Awesome! I had no idea that the car had this feature. I almost always drive around with the windows down, so I will definitely be dropping them as I approach the car.
