How to set the horn for the 2021 Bora when locking the car?

[MadisonLee]

21 Bora horn setting method: You need to go to the 4S shop and use the maintenance computer to enter the 09 central electrical system to change the long code of the body computer. The following is the relevant information about Bora: 1. The Bora comes standard with ESP body stability system, RKA intelligent tire pressure monitoring system, GRA cruise control system, HHC hill start assist function, rear parking radar, driver seat belt reminder, Clean-Air-PM2.5 high-efficiency air filter, one-touch anti-pinch power windows for all four doors, remote key, and a 6-speaker stereo sound system. 2. In terms of power, the Bora is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine. The former has a maximum horsepower of 116PS and a maximum torque of 150NM, matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission; the latter has a maximum horsepower of 150PS and a maximum torque of 250Nm, with the transmission system matched to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I just figured out this feature on my 2021 Bora, super easy! Don't start the engine, just turn on the power. Tap the 'Vehicle' icon on the center screen, go to 'Settings', and find the 'Door/Window Switch' submenu. Scroll down to see the 'Horn Sound When Locking/Unlocking' option, just check it. Tried it and sure enough, there's a 'beep' when locking and two beeps when unlocking. But heads up, the sound is quite noticeable in residential areas at night, so you might want to turn it off if you're worried about disturbing neighbors. This feature is super handy for finding your car, especially in big parking lots like shopping malls. When you press the key and a bunch of car lights flash, following the sound is foolproof.

This needs to be set in the car's infotainment system. Last time I helped my dad set it up, for the 2021 Bora model, you select 'Vehicle' on the main screen of the center console, then go into 'Settings'. Look for the 'Door/Window Open/Close' menu, where you'll find options related to 'Sound Feedback'. After checking the box, the horn will sound when locking the car, serving as a confirmation prompt. Note that the setting location might vary slightly for different model years, but the general path is similar. I think having the sound prompt is great, especially when you walk away after locking the car and start doubting whether it's locked—now you can hear the sound and feel at ease. If you find it noisy, you can always turn it off; it's purely a matter of personal preference.

Get it done in the infotainment screen. After powering on, tap 'Vehicle' at the bottom of the screen to enter settings, select 'Window/Door Open/Close Settings' from the left menu, then scroll to the bottom to find the 'Horn Feedback' option. Turn it on to enable the horn sound when locking. This feature mainly provides peace of mind, especially when you're in a hurry getting out of the car with kids - hearing that beep confirms it's securely locked. This operation logic is basically standard across Volkswagen vehicles.

I've researched the settings for the 2021 Bora. The steps are: Power on the vehicle without ignition → Tap 'Vehicle' on the touchscreen → Enter 'Settings' → Select 'Door/Window Open/Close' on the left → Look for an option similar to 'Horn/Sound Confirmation' in the menu. After enabling it, you'll get a horn prompt when locking the car. Note that this sound is different from the alarm siren—it's much milder in volume. After setting it up, try locking the car to test; if there's no sound, check if the option is ticked. This feature is especially handy in underground parking—no need to turn around to check the lights.

You can set it up on the central control screen. After powering on the vehicle, directly locate the 'Vehicle' settings option on the screen, tap into it, and scroll to the 'Door/Window Open/Close' related menu. There is clearly an option called 'Lock/Unlock Horn Feedback' (the name might vary slightly), just check to enable it. This is quite practical, especially when you're running to the car with stuff in the rain—press the key, hear the response sound, and you'll know the door is unlocked without having to free a hand to pull the door handle to confirm. To turn it off, follow the same path and uncheck the option.
