Whats this about locking the car with one button click and it locks with no sound.. with the second press you hear a beep!? I dont get that on mine and the dealer said none of them do... crying.

A river of tears.

 

They all do. Read the manual. It's described in there.

 

The second hit on the lock button, the horn sounds and you jump 3 feet up into the air. No beep.

 

There are differences like that between the US cars and cars exported to other markets, but mine didn't work until I realized you can't do the button pushes too close to each other. The manual says they have to be within like 20 seconds of each other, so I was going "pushpush" instead of pushing the button, waiting for the doors to finish locking, and pushing again.

Unless this is a troll...in which case I'd prefer to be batter dipped, fried along with some chips, and served next to a pint of Guiness, please?

 

Take the dealer dude to your car. Tell him to insert head with one ear into the grill of the RX-8. Push lock button, wait a few seconds after you hear the doors lock and press again. Instantly he will hear more than a beep!! Stand back, take pictures and enjoy. Hope he learns a lesson.

 

i never push the button the second time for just that reason. the horn is really annoying.

 

I guess the horn is there to let one know the car is locked. Lets say you are in a busy noisy section of town and you didn't hear the doors click and lock so you need the second press to let you know its armed. Other than that, yes,its a loudy.

 

Nope nothing in the Manual.... another friend here says no Beep.. (im rowing a boat in my tears right now.. i want a beep so bad).... Is it a UK thing?! We suck.

 

Well for the first click you can also see the lights flash on and off for confirmation. I use the second click when I'm parking some place where I want people to know not to mess with it. Makes it just a little more obvious to everyone else the car is locked and ALARMED!

 

I click mine once, it locks silently.

I click mine twice, the horn beeps, indicating it's locked.

I click it a third time, it goes DUDE!!

 

Mine says "Zug Zug!" when I click it the fourth time :p

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... THATS NOT FAIR!!! i want mine to beep, Zug or say dude... It doesnt.....

 

Maybe it should say " I have a headache"

 

this is the second or third thread about this in the last week and a half closing
