How to set the horn sound when locking the 2019 Volkswagen Bora?

The 2019 Volkswagen Bora does not have this feature enabled by default. You need to visit a 4S dealership to reprogram the data (via OBD vehicle system to modify the settings). Once this function is enabled, you can hear the horn sound when locking the car, ensuring that the doors are securely locked. Below is relevant information: 1. The horn is the audio signal device of a car. During driving, the driver uses it as needed and required to issue necessary audio signals, warning pedestrians and alerting other vehicles to ensure traffic safety. It is also used for urging and signaling. 2. The working principle is that when the horn button on the steering wheel or other positions is pressed, current from the battery flows through the circuit to the electromagnetic coil of the horn relay. The electromagnetic coil attracts the moving contact switch of the relay to close, allowing current to flow to the horn. The current activates the internal electromagnet of the horn, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound. 3. Horns can be classified by their sound-producing power into electric horns and air horns; by shape into spiral, cylindrical, and basin types; by frequency into high-pitch and low-pitch horns; by wiring into single-wire and double-wire horns; and by contact into contact-type (ordinary) electric horns and contactless (electronic) electric horns. Air horns are mainly used in heavy-duty vehicles with air brake systems, while electric horns are widely used in small and medium-sized vehicles due to their simple structure, compact size, lightweight, pleasant sound, and easy maintenance.
I remember when I first bought my 2019 Bora, I also wanted to set the horn sound for locking the car—it feels much more convenient. After starting the car, just tap into the vehicle settings menu on the central display, find the sound options, and enable the lock confirmation sound feature. The whole process is quite simple and takes about half a minute. Now, every time I lock the car, the horn gives a quick beep for confirmation, which gives me much more peace of mind, especially when parking in my neighborhood at night—it helps me quickly check if the car is locked properly. I’ve heard this feature also has anti-theft benefits; some people forgot to set it and ended up having items stolen, so it’s really worth paying attention to. Before operating, make sure the screen responds normally, and don’t rush to turn off the engine, or the settings might not save. In short, after setting it up, driving life feels more secure, and I’d recommend all new car owners give it a try.
