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

[604Bronco]

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..

Just walk behind the vehicle instead lol

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.

Get out to help my kid out his sports gear in the back without swinging the tailgate into another car or into the middle of traffic. It's not like I am leaving to warm up, just jumping out to help someone.

if I keep the key in pocket as intended with proximity doors/start stop button, every time I jump out to open a gate it goes off.

I close the door because it's raining

just my two examples

disables double honk when exiting running vehicle

I know nothing of Forscan. Can anyone confirm this code works?

When you start the vehicle leave the fob in the front of center console. No honk when you get out. When you turn it off and leave the vehicle for good, grab fob to lock doors. Seems easy enough, just have to get in a habit of learning how to use your new toys. Actually I believe there is a spot to "hold" the fob while in vehicle. I will have to search for it. (and I don't mean the spot when the battery is dead in the fob)

My 08 F150 has a key and door keypad. So first time I go to store and leave truck run to warm up thinking I would just use the keypad to access when returning from the store. NOPE. Lock the door and by the time it shuts, it unlocks itself. Either shut the truck off or not lock the doors.

These things happen when we let electronics control everything. Just have to learn how to use it the way someone else designed it.

No kids, I’m guessing? Crazy that you never start your car and then jump out because you forgot something in the house or to throw something in the trash. Well done.

If I am loading the car, I drag my stuff out to it, start it up (especially in winter) to allow the oil a few extra minutes to circulate in the engine and warm during the time it takes to load. Some folks don't have a remote start. Or if there is ice scraping to be done, you always start your vehicle while you chip ice and snow off (and it lets the defrosters start doing their job.) for the 5-10 minutes it might take to de-frozen water your vehicle. If I am going to be taking a key fob out of my pocket to put in the center console, I might as well have a real key.

This is why I posted it yes it works I did it to both my Broncos. I also made it so you have to hit the panic button twice before it will set off the alarm.

You might create a separate thread with the title “Horn Honk issue: solved” or something. There’s lots of folks interested in this fix! Thanks!

I think it's probably not wise to leave your fob inside a running car and exit it... Lol
And... Can the doors be locked with the fob outside a running car?

 

[Greens05]

I appreciate it letting you know the keys are not in the vehicle and it is running, however its more the volume of the alert. A simple chirp would be much nicer. As it is....it about makes you jump out of your shoes if you are headed toward the front of the vehicle when you get out. The delay gets me every time.

Yep I agree. I just got mine and no kid has been in it. Just me playing with it in my driveway and of course it honks at me the entire time as I am just playing with the features and having to get in and out to do so. I am sure neighbors loved it. Not sure what this person does with his vehicle but obviously not much. Maybe he should have got a Camry...

On the F-150 forums, this is the #1 reason to download FORSCAN.

#2 is the stupid AS/S

Thank you! Was able to shut off this really annoying feature along with programming the switch I added to the Badlands to control my BD fogs like factory (not using upfitter).
