How to set the horn sound when locking the Bora?

[VonAlana]

The Volkswagen Bora does not have the lock confirmation sound enabled by default at the factory. You need to visit a 4S dealership and use the maintenance computer to access the 09 Central Electrical System to modify the long coding of the body control module. More details about the Bora are as follows: 1. The Bora is a sedan under FAW-Volkswagen. Its body dimensions are 466318151462mm with a wheelbase of 2688mm. 2. It 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 150N·m, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission; the latter has a maximum horsepower of 150PS and a maximum torque of 250N·m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 3. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

I've been driving my Bora for over three years, and setting the horn sound for locking the car is quite simple. It's very practical as it gives an audible confirmation every time you lock the car. First, sit in the car, close the door, but don't start the engine—just turn the key to the ON position or press the start button to power on. Then, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the 'Settings' menu on the screen. Find 'Vehicle Settings,' then go to 'Central Locking System,' and enable the 'Lock Confirmation Sound' option—usually set to horn sound. When the horn sounds upon locking, you know the doors are securely locked, which helps prevent forgetting to lock and losing items, especially in underground parking lots where it adds peace of mind. However, it's best to turn it off at night in residential areas to avoid disturbing neighbors with noise. If the horn doesn’t sound after setting it up, it might be due to a blown fuse or the system needing an update. It’s recommended to visit a 4S shop for a check-up—safety first.

Hey, I'm a big fan of the Bora, and these customization features are super cool! Setting the horn to beep when locking is a breeze. After getting in the car, press the power button without starting the engine, then navigate to the settings on the central screen. Scroll to "Comfort Functions," select the "Lock Settings" section, turn on "Confirmation Sound," and set it to the horn. Once done, every time you lock the car with the key fob, the horn will beep—super reassuring and helps deter thieves from stealing stuff inside. I set it up right after getting my new car; just keep the volume moderate to avoid being too noisy. It's both practical and stylish. If you can't find the menu, some model years might require a software update or a visit to the service center—nothing too complicated and definitely worth a try!

For home-use Bora, setting the lock confirmation sound is quite necessary. The operation is simple: sit in the car, power on without starting the engine, use the steering wheel buttons to access the settings interface, find "Central Locking" under "Vehicle", and select the horn sound for lock confirmation. This way, the car will beep when locked, providing safer confirmation, especially useful when children are around to prevent doors from not being closed properly. Remember to lower the volume to avoid disturbing others. If it doesn't sound, check the fuse.

From a technical perspective, the Bora's horn sound when locking is configured via the vehicle's MIB system. After powering on, navigate to the settings menu, following a path similar to Vehicle - Central Locking - Feedback Settings, and enable the acoustic feedback option set to horn. Some older models require activation through OBD diagnostic tool programming, involving control unit signals. Once configured, the horn circuit is triggered to sound, enhancing anti-theft functionality, but note that programming may be complex. If ineffective, check for BCM module or fuse issues, and professional diagnosis is recommended to prevent misoperation.
