Re: Keyless Entry "Ding Dong"

I've noticed it too. The only thing I could think of is if you're sleeping in the car, you'll hear if someone else unlocks the doors.

Re: Keyless Entry "Ding Dong"

I had the same thing happen in my last car after I had a lo-jack keyless entry installed.

The tone is the same tone the car makes if you leave the headlights on.

If you watch, the ding matches up with the parking-light flash.

So, the keyless-entry flashes the lights, the car goes "oh, the lights are on, door's open, key's out of the ignition" and dings to tell you.

Bit of a logic 'bug'.

Ah! Makes perfect sense.
