How to set the horn sound when locking the Bora?
2 Answers
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 4663*1815*1462mm 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.
