3 Answers
Magotan B8 horn sound when locking the car is achieved by ECU tuning, and this feature can only be enabled after tuning. The Magotan B8 is the eighth-generation model of the Volkswagen Magotan, also known as the all-new Magotan. Taking the Magotan 2020 280TSI DSG Comfort model as an example: it is a mid-sized 4-door 5-seater sedan with a length, width, and height of 4865mm, 1832mm, and 1471mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2871mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 66L. The Magotan 2020 280TSI DSG Comfort model's engine has a maximum power of 110 kW, with a maximum power speed range of 5000 to 6000 rpm, front-wheel drive, and is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving Volkswagen cars for quite a while and am familiar with the settings of the Magotan B8. To enable the horn sound when locking the car, the steps are actually simple: First, sit in the car without pressing the brake pedal, then press the start button to put the dashboard into ACC mode. Next, find the "Vehicle Settings" on the central control screen, navigate to the "Sound" or "Security" menu, locate the "Lock Confirmation Sound" option, select "Horn Sound," and save the setting. Once configured, pressing the remote lock button will trigger a beep to confirm the operation. Remember to test it in a quiet environment to ensure it works. If you're unfamiliar with the menu path, consult the owner's manual or visit a 4S dealership for assistance. This feature is extremely practical—it helps avoid the risk of forgetting to lock the car in parking lots and has helped me develop a good habit. Note that configurations may vary slightly across different model years of the B8, but most owners can handle this setup themselves.
I just helped my friend set up his Magotan B8, super easy. You need to get in the car without starting the engine, just press the start button until the dashboard lights up. Tap the central control screen to find the settings icon, scroll to the vehicle options, open the sound tab and select "lock reminder", then switch to horn mode and confirm. After that, try the remote control: press the lock button and it will sound. This trick is super convenient, especially when parking in dark places at night—you'll know the car is securely locked as soon as you hear the sound, saving you from checking again. If the screen is hard to navigate, don't worry—just restart the car system or refer to the manual for a few pages to get it done, saving you a trip to the shop.
