Bump, I am hoping somewhere can give you the answer so us people that dont have sound can get it fixed.

 

i think the beep is a box inside the passenger side fender

 

Please someone, I really want this beep/horn sound because I sometimes dont know if I locked the doors or not.

 

Not trying to change the subject but why not put one of those scanners that flash behing the mirror or on the dash? I had one installed to let me know if my doors are locked. Sometime I go in the house and can't remember if I locked the door. Now I just look out the wiindow and see the blue light flashing. It comes off when you turn on the car.

If anyone has done this let me know because the guy who put it in told me that it works that way because of the factory alarm. I want it to work like an aftermarket one where it only comes on when I lock the door not when the power is off.

 

Im going to try something Im going to run some wires to the red led inicator on the door to see if it will work with the factory indicator. Mybe he was just to lazy to open the door panel ... If anyone has done this let me know? if not I'll try it by the weekend. I'll let you know if it works...

 

I could be down with trying this too. A brighter/more noticeable light might also deter would be thieves too.

Technically, the door light could possibly work. I wonder how it blinks though. Do you think the power is pulsed through the lines, or would that light on the door have some sort of modulator behind the door panel that causes it to blink?

Interesting thought, I'd like to know more. I'll do this next week if you come up with anything - or if someone knows more about that red blinking door light by the lock.

 

Okay, so there IS a programmable feature for the remote to chirp/honk. Now, the 1999's ONLY Honk. The 2000 and up are supposed to chirp. If it does NOT chirp, your system is not programmed properly. I have all the service bulletins printed out at home, and I don't have access to them at work, so I will look when I get home on Wednesday (unless someone has the SB for the keyless transmitter). I remember seeing this in one of the bulletins.

It's just a simple process of turning the key a few times and this that and the other. If no one can find the service bulletin, I will scan it in or type it up on Wednesday when I get home from work!

 

Hey guys for get the scanner idea the door led has 2 wires the scanner 3. The third is a power wire, I tries for over an hour but no dice... I guess the guy was telling the truth, The red led in a circuit board thats why it won't work ...

 

Please post it up, I really want this sound and thank you.

 

I found this on another forum but I havent tried it yet because its in the basement.

"This is from Acura TSB 97-040. I know this works for all the RLs up to 2004, and I believe it works for the later ones as well.

 

My 99 has a quieter chirp when locking the doors

 

I think your talking about this.

Are you able to test to see if you can infact turn on/off the chirp ?

By doing "To turn the audible chirp off and on, press and hold the “Trunk Release” button, then immediately press and hold the “Lock” button. The LED on the transmitter blinks once to indicate on or twice to indicate off"

 

Theres also.

Turning the Audible Chirp On/Off
1. Open the driver’s door, then insert the key in the
driver’s door lock.
2. Turn the key to the “Lock” position, then to the
“Unlock” position. Repeat this two more times.
(Complete this procedure within 10 seconds.)
3. Within 10 seconds, close and open the door two
times.
4. Within 10 seconds, turn the key to the “Lock”
position, and then to the “Unlock” position, three
times. Close and open the door once. Verify that
the power door locks cycle once to confirm that the
chirp has been turned on/off.

 

youve ruined everything this thread had discovered.

 

Yeah those sound about right for the procedures! Sorry I'm not at home to verify. I'm in Portland right now on a layover.

Check it out and see if it works! If it doesn't, I will check my notes and books when I get home.

 

Those two steps doesnt work on my car.

 

As posted by me once or twice before in similar threads, the device that makes the noise for the 2000-2003 is behind the fender liner in the passenger fender.

You can also buy similar devices from radio shack and on line. My buddy has installed a few in his maximas that didnt have it.

 

I'll try and remember to make a video tomorrow for you guys to show you

 

To show us how to program it or the sound ? if you can can you please do the programming steps above to see if it will turn on/off the sound (maybe I am doing it wrong).

 

so is all we need is that box in the fender and will that box just plug and play or will we neeed something else to

 

Didn't it say those instructions were for a 2004 RL?

 

wonder why so many people think the 99's dont have a beep..

my horn is WAY louder than my alarm beep which isnt even noticable after about 50 feet or after you enter the building..

 

If the car isnt wired for it you WILL need to wire it up as the wiring for it isnt going to be there. If it was it would have the device.

 

Yes but I thought it would work.

 

Does this actually work? I tried it and it didn't....

 

Doesnt work for me also.

 

hey Eddystone, you need to make sure that all your door sensor are working correctly, especially your trunk. if your car is equipped with the factory alarm, and does have the "beep" then when all doors are shut and all sensors are closed when you hit the lock button twice it will beep to notify that the alarm is armed

 

Yup everything is closed and locked. The sensors are working because when the doors or trunk are open the dash screen will say its open.

 

do you have a factory alarm as well as keyless entry?

 

also check your trunk lights and courtesy lights, they can also play a factor, aswell as the fuses

 

Yes. If I press/hold the panic button the car will beep loud constantly.

 

I am planning to change all the lights in my car with LEDs soon. I dont know how to tell if a fuse is blown or not.

 

my 99 does in fact chirp.

uses two different noises completely for horn and alarm.

alarm goes "meep"

and horn goes BWAANNHHH

 

My 99 TL use to blow the horn when i'd lock the doors. I had to replace the battery and now it makes no sound. The doors just lock. Although when pressing the panic button, the alarm will go off.

Only 2000's and above have the soft beep. Wish my 99 did.

 

so maybe they lied to me and sold me a 2000? lol.

the car was repaired before.. maybe they ordered the wrong part?
my vin is for a 99 though

 

youre missing the point. the newer version doesnt honk or make any of those analog sounds. they make a DIGITAL beep. like a beep on a metal detector.

thats what we want.

 

bump for fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please

 

i do understand lol.. but everyone says the 99 uses the horn to make the armed alarm sound.. mine doesnt.. thats all im saying.. its a very high pitched meep, and its not aftermarket.. maybe my car is just phuxored

 

so does mine. but it still sounds liek it is coming from the horn.

we want the digital acura beep.
