Turn Off Honk When Key is Outside the Vehicle - Solved via Forscan

[Berwolf]

Does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the honk when the key is outside the vehicle but the vehicle is running with Forscan? This drives me crazy as it always honks right when I walk by the horn.

Thanks for the below Forscan info! @D2dhanover

disables double honk when exiting running vehicle

Alternative method

Open the configuration tool and select the module BdyCM. Scroll down until you find "Double Honk on leaving cabin". Change to disable, write, restart vehicle and verify it no longer honks.

Don't fully close the door when you get out or leave the key inside. Those are the only options I have found so far besides using forscan. I wish there was another way.

Easy. Unplug the horn.

Earplugs are another low cost option.

I had my wife do this just to scare the crap out of her. It was hilarious.

Get a keypad and leave the keys in it

It’s a safety feature, so they’re not going to make it simple to deactivate it.

I never understood why people leave their cars running and walk away from it. If it’s that hot or cold out, get out, remote start your vehicle, and do your errand.

I've had my bronco 48 hours and its driving me crazy as well. I'm always jumping out with my keys in my pocket to help the kids or grab something from the house.

There are very few things I hate about my new Bronco but this is definitely one of them.

Y’all sound like this is your first Ford with keyless start. You get used to it or the workarounds.

I plan on adding air horn just for the same purpose!

Just wait until you want to work on your vehicle and need to leave it running while getting in and out. Or hopping out to switch seats with the wife or something. It's that short little trip around the car thatll getcha.

It's incredibly loud and just delayed enough to get ya right in the earhole as soon as you walk by.

My poor, poor neighbors..

This little feature is annoying in an urban environment, but would really be bad when "viewing" wildlife.

Had mine for a week, and it never honked until I pocket smooshed the panic button and now it honks even time. Time to kill.

This crap has made me jump a few times already. Definitely can’t wait to turn it off.
