2012 TSX SE - Car Lock Beep

When i lock my car, it is a very low sounding beep. i dont have anything to compare it to, besides the two courtesy cars i have had from my Acura Dealer... both were TL's, and were about 2-3 times louder.

Is this normal for the TSX, or can this just be my car?

Thanks.

This is normal. The TL beep is louder.

It's normal. The TSX beep isn't very loud.

Yea, it's really quiet...to quiet. I can't really tell if the car is locked without being close to it.

^ defcon, I think it's a setting in the MID, among the other settings such as how long to leave the lights on, how long for the locks to re-lock, etc.

If you can locate the piezo buzzer (beeper), you should able to replace it pretty easily with a louder one from Radio Shack. Probably just 2 wires. I've done this on other cars.

Good question! Unfortunate answer. I've had to walk back to the car to check. It also looks like the light flash pattern looks the same on both lock and unlock---could be wrong though.

Also why no beep you pop the trunk? Given that you may pop it by accident and it doesn't open all the way, you could be driving down the road with a trunk flapping open and closed.

Page 80 of the 2011 manual... basically hold either the up or down arrow on the steering wheel (on the bottom right side) until you see the menu, then click around in that menu.

Here's a copy/paste from the manual of what things can be changed:
LANGUAGE SELECTION
ADJUST OUTSIDE TEMP. DISPLAY
TRIP A RESET with REFUEL
ELAPSED TIME RESET
MEMORY POSITION LINK*
INTERIOR LIGHT DIMMING TIME
HEADLIGHT AUTO OFF TIMER
AUTO LIGHT SENSITIVITY
AUTO DOOR LOCK
DOOR LOCK MODE
KEYLESS LOCK ACKNOWLEDGMENT
SECURITY RELOCK TIMER
AUTO DOOR UNLOCK

The MID will give a warning if the trunk is open... it's a little picture of the car with the trunk open.
