Just a mosquito....

[Wallysdog]

I live in a colder climate and being OLD school the key is always in my pocket.
Every time I get up early and begin loading the vehicle for an ice fishing adventure the vehicle is warming up and I close the door the neighbors get an early morning greeting. Good neighbors are hard to find.

If the double honk is annoying don’t ever buy a GM, for if you do you’ll get to experience the triple honk

See, I feel vehicles should come with two different levels of honks: The blaring locomotive horn for when someone does something egregious, or for your alarm (if anyone has ever actually used that feature), that kind of thing.

But there should be another, milder, “friendly” honk, for things like taking your key fob with you, or finding your car in a parking lot, or saying hi to your buddy you just spotted. Or even for things like letting the person ahead of you know the light just turned green, so it doesn’t make you seem like an over-reactive jerk when you hit the train horn…

I need to find someone close to me with the forscan software. I’ve got a Mac and I’m computer illiterate when it comes to that stuff.

Forscan is one option but Flashcal for Bronco is another one. It's not cheap but it is easy to use and performs a few other functions as well. If you search the forum you should find some reviews of it.

It might be the alarm fatigue from my work."

Hate it. Here is my scenario. I drive kid or she drives to school. Learners permit. Which switch at school and if I forget to leave the fob in the console. That dam double honk has people looking at us. And we are in a line of vehicles so people think you are honking for them to move.

I am sure some kind of road rage will occur and they might consider dumping it.

I'm not savvy enough to set up a survey on likes and dislikes, but hope someone can pull it off.
I'll go with the majority, then disappear.

I think some have a quieter chirp? I can't name any models but I'm sure I've heard subtle chirps.

Am I the only one that's never had a double honk happen and couldn't care less?

Yes.

Forskinned it away, now I can get the mail without looking my girl making me look like an asshole

It’s likely most common with manual owners in the winter. I don’t mind the beep but it’s SO loud. Could be dialed back about 90% and it would still be effective. I don’t need everyone in a 1/2 mile radius to know my vehicle is running and my keys are in my pocket.

 

[SubmarineNuke]

Hasn't happened to be either. And I don't mind Auto Start/Stop. I just assumed I was weird.

Someone on the Bronco Nation forums said the latest power-up update from this past week disabled the double-honk for them. Wanted to test that theory but I don't know how to make it double honk to begin with.

exit the vehicle, close the door, key fob in your pocket.

Yes some manufacturers do, my 16’ Nissan Titan had its normal horn but if you got out with the key when running it gave you a triple tone not horn related. It was nice during the winter being able ti stop at Wawa for a coffee and leave the diesel running and lock the doors and not alert the whole parking lot that you left the truck running.

Strange, my manual has never done it and I've warmed it up with keys in my pocket in the house many times.
