Turning off double horn beep when exiting vehicle while running????

[Grumpy]

I fish Monday thru Friday and tow my boat doing so. When I get to the boat ramps I have to exit vehicle to unhook boat and when I leave I have to exit vehicle to drive boat up on trailer. But that damn double horn blowing alert when exiting while vehicle running and key fob in pocket drives me nuts. Is there a proper way in settings to turn that off? I've looked throughout the setting can not find option to, and visually scoured the electronic vehicle manual, and nothing.

Is it by chance the mis-lock setting?

Forscan is the answer. There are mega threads with “how to” over here - https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/forums/forscan-programmers-tuners-coders.44/

Alternatively. Leave the key in the rig.

Its got a bit of a learning curve, is this is the only thing you need from it, make a friend who knows how and ask them to do it. You'll need a wired or bluetooth OBD module, and a Windows 10 PC.

Drives me nuts too, I've gotten to the point of just closing the door to the first latch point, not fully closed. This will keep the horn from honking.

Sooooo f*cking annoying.
I wish Ford would make an option of this on a future software update.

There is 2 items I want to do
1- double honk disable
2-change tire circumference parameter

I just got done watching the YouTube video about forscan on this site. I will be buying the obdII module the video suggested and register with forscan for the user license. I have a laptop w/windows current version also.

Thanks bud

Superchips flashcal might also be an option for you. Doesn't seem to be available for 2023 models yet though.

I can see why this would be annoying.

Can I accomplish both those items I want to change with flashcal? Any ford warranty concerns using it? I know on my 15 GT I had a programmer and had to go back to oem settings every time I had a service appt.

 

[Eric L.]

Yes. No clue. I was looking into getting one for the reasons you stated. I won't purchase untill I can conform it works with my 2023 without causing an issue.
