Ive had the car for a year now and Never noticed that theres a little black button under my stearing wheel right above the e-brake pedal(under the dash). I dont know what it is but I pushed it a couple times and now when I lock my doors to set my alarm it doesnt make the beep beep sound anymore it just locks the doors and the lights flash. What is this button? Does it hafto do with the alarm system? I got the car used, so I dont know if this button came With the car form acura or is this somthing the prev owner put in wich is why im asking here.

 

Sounds like u hit the valet button..Not to sure im new to the TL scene also .. But putting a car into valet deactivates the alarm..

 

could you please take a picture of this button for me, cause I think it might solve my year long problem of not getting the beeping sound from my car when I lock it with the remote twice.

 

Never seen such button and ive had my dash completely out

 

OK ill try to take a pic of it 2morrow. I have no clue why Its there. theres also a little red LED light right next to were the dash light dimmer thing is. If i push and hold the button down with the key in the on position without starting the motor it turns on and if i push it agian it shuts off. I have no idea what the differance is tho My alarm wont beep either way.

 

Correct me If I'm wrong, but does your car have a aftermarket or had a aftermarket alarm?

 

i've felt this button before but i never pushed it in

 

if you have an aftermarket alarm its mostly just a valet, or disarm button....and if you don't it might be your self destruct button....

 

HAHAHAHAHAA

 

o_O

 

thats not a stock option

 

I don't get any beeps either; never knew you could. I'll be looking for this button too.

 

that button is in fact the button to activate valet mode on your alarm. the previous owner of my TL had the after-market valet button put in the same place.

what you need to do is turn the key to either the "run"or "on" position (i can't remember which one) and push the button. the alarm will chirp signaling a change in state.

 

wait, so is there really a button there if you don't have an aftermarket alarm?

cause my car never beeps when I hit the lock button on the remote twice

 

No, there is just a blank black plug. You can't press it.

 

See thread:

What is driver's side "dummy button" for?

I looked twice; no button found. You people are nuts. (I did figure out how to make it beep, though.)

 

My old intergra had such a button. It was used to reset the "service required" light.

 

ok.... Just because you dont have it doesnt make anyone els nuts.. Maybee the prev ovner installed it ill take pics 2night..

 

I read that thread already. its not what im talking about.

 

Then what you have sounds like some kind of custom installed thing, and not standard equipment. Post a picture of it so we know what you are talking about.

 

Yes pics please ..Cause im going crazy looking 4 this button in my 05 TL..Cause mine doesn't beep either..

 

 

^where do you find this shit philly....this and the "start new thread/search" gif you posted are great

 

haha you guys are funny.

 

OK, so I had to get down and dirty but there it is, the black button and just to the left of it is a symbol of a key. Did not want to screw around since I do get the beep on the second click of lock button on remote. Much more civilized than those dorks who insist on beeping the horn .... loudly, and they get louder after 11pm. Why is that? JC

Hey mods: I arrived at this site thru the back door I guess last September. How do I get to page where I can start new threads on different subject? DUH !!

 

so like...im 19 and never go anywhere fancy enough for a valet to touch my car. unless mickey D's just got an upgrade O.o

what's a valet mode do? lock your glove compartment and disable alarm?

 

my question is how the hell do u get out of valet mode???

 

i have a lot of stuff on my computer. thanks

 

i dont understand, care to elaborate?

 

it was in reference to my comment. i have alot of cool type comments saved on my computer.

 

here are some examples. have thousands of these
