When I unlock my doors with the remote keyless entry, I get 2 beeps when I open the door. Does anyone know what that is trying to tell me???????

The beeps are probably the warning beeps for your lights---when your lights are on and the E is off it will beep letting you know your lights are on...when you press the remote to unlock the doors this flashes the parking lights twice--making the beep everytime because your lights are on.....

It happens to me too :)

I have that system. I was told by the Honda service dude that:
1 beep = You just locked the doors
2 beeps = You just unlocked the doors
3 beeps = You tried to lock the doors, but at least one is partially open
4 beeps = Since you locked the doors, something has tripped the alarm

I have verified the first three, but I had the sensitivity set so low on the alarm, I haven't been able to get 4 beeps yet. I kept the keyless entry for that function only, not the alarm.

drummerr: You are correct. It beeps when the lights blink. Once if I hit the remote once to open just the driver's door and twice if I hit the remote twice to unlock all doors. At least I now know what it is doing.

I had my keyless entry installed at the dealer when I bought it. The only time it beeps is when I lock it w/ the remote. I hit the button 2x and that is when it beeps. I make it beep to know I have it all locked up. I will have to find out why it does not beep like all of yours... huh.
