How to set the horn sound when locking the Volkswagen Bora?
3 Answers
The Bora does not have the horn sound enabled by default when locking the car. You need to visit a 4S dealership to update the data (via the OBD vehicle system to modify the settings). After enabling this feature, when you hear the horn sound upon locking the car, you can be assured that the doors are securely locked. Additional information: Below is an introduction to the horn function: 1. Meaning and Purpose: The horn is the audio signal device of a car. During driving, the driver can emit necessary audio signals as required or regulated to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used for urging movement and transmitting signals. 2. Working Principle: When the horn button on the steering wheel or other locations 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 electromagnet inside the horn, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Bora for several years, and setting the horn sound when locking the car is an incredibly practical little feature that makes parking much more worry-free. Generally, you just need to sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and let the dashboard light up. Then, use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate the menu system, find the door lock section in the vehicle settings, and look for the option to enable the lock confirmation sound. Select 'ON,' and you're all set. My car is a 2018 Bora, and every time I press the lock button on the key, the horn gives a short beep, confirming that the car is securely locked. If I don't hear the sound, I check whether the setting was incorrect or if the key battery is too weak. I recommend keeping this feature enabled long-term—it helps prevent small mistakes like forgetting to lock the car, especially when parking at night or in noisy areas. I've also tested it in different scenarios, like in a garage with strong echoes, and the single beep is very reliable. Overall, taking a minute to set it up is totally worth it!
I just got my Volkswagen Bora not long ago and wanted to set a locking sound effect. I learned a simple method in the car owners' group. First, get into the seat, insert the key to power on without starting the engine. Then use the central control touchscreen to click into the settings menu and enter the vehicle section. In the door lock function area, you can find the switch to enable the horn prompt—just tap it lightly to turn it on. After setting, press the lock button; if you hear a short beep, it means it's successful. I found this especially friendly for beginners, avoiding the hassle of guessing whether the car is locked, which can affect your mood when going out. When I park in the basement of a shopping mall, confirming with the sound saves time and effort. If there's no response during the operation, remember to check the settings or restart the system—it usually solves the problem. By the way, such settings in Volkswagen cars are user-friendly and not complicated. After using it daily for a few months, I've never encountered any errors.
