How to set the horn sound when locking the Magotan B8?
3 Answers
The Magotan B8's locking horn sound cannot be set by the user and requires ECU flashing to configure. You can visit a 4S dealership for this setting. In Volkswagen's factory settings, the horn does not sound by default when the doors are locked. Relevant information about the locking horn is as follows: 1. The locking horn sound serves as an alert method to inform the driver that the vehicle has been locked. Otherwise, the driver can only determine if the vehicle is locked by checking the hazard lights. 2. To make the horn sound once when locking the vehicle, you need to hold down the lock button continuously, which will cause the horn to sound three times. The horn is an audio signaling device in automobiles. During driving, the driver can emit necessary audio signals as needed or required by regulations to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used for urging and transmitting signals.
Hey buddy, I've also been exploring the settings for the Magotan B8 recently, and the lock confirmation beep feature is quite handy. The setup isn't actually difficult. First, don't start the engine but press the one-touch start button to power on the vehicle. Then, use the steering wheel buttons to navigate into the instrument cluster menu, find the vehicle settings or security options, and enable the sound feedback. Some cars require manual activation: press and hold the remote lock button for 5 seconds until you hear a beep, or try pressing both the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds. Once activated, the horn will beep once as confirmation each time you lock the car. If it doesn't work, it might be due to a dead remote battery or wiring issues, which would need checking. It's advisable to test this feature regularly—hearing that beep when parking gives peace of mind knowing your car is securely locked, offering both anti-theft protection and convenience.
I've driven quite a few Volkswagen models and played with the settings on the Magotan B8. The horn beep when locking is meant to confirm the vehicle is locked, preventing forgetfulness. Setup steps: Sit in the driver's seat, power on the car without starting the engine, access the vehicle settings menu via the center console screen, and enable horn feedback in the security section. If you can't find the option, try removing the key and holding down the remote lock button to see if it activates. If not, it might be defaulted off or a software glitch. Testing is simple - if there's no sound next time you lock, just reset it. This feature is super convenient, especially when parking in dark areas at night as it instantly confirms the locking status. I always check this before every trip to ensure everything works properly and prevent mishaps.
