How to activate the locking sound on Volkswagen Tiguan?

Taking the Tiguan L as an example, the hidden function of horn sound when locking cannot be set by yourself. It needs to be solved by flashing the ECU at a 4S store. The locking prompt sound function is set by default in the factory settings of Volkswagen Tiguan models that the horn does not sound when the doors are locked. The following is an introduction about Tiguan L: 1. Body dimensions: The body dimension data of the model are length 4712 mm, width 1839 mm, height 1673 mm, and the wheelbase is 2791 mm. 2. Other introductions: The vehicle is a five-door five-seater and seven-seater SUV model, with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, a luggage compartment volume of 495 liters to 1780 liters, and is positioned as a mid-size SUV.
I've been driving for years and love these little features in the Volkswagen Tiguan. Activating the locking sound is super simple: After getting in the car, press the start button but don't start the engine. Wait for the center console screen to light up, then tap into 'Settings', find the 'Vehicle' menu, scroll down to select 'Central Locking System', and there you'll see a 'Locking Sound Confirmation' option. Toggle it on and save, and from then on, every time you lock the car, it'll beep once to confirm it's secure—pretty handy, especially when parking at night to prevent mishaps. If you can't find the menu, it might be due to an older software version; updating the car's system or checking the owner's manual should do the trick. Personally, I think this setting shouldn't be turned off by default. Enabling it makes locking more reliable, and you can even adjust the sound volume through custom options, ensuring it doesn't bother the neighbors while adding daily convenience.
