does anyone else hear random beeps (from within the car) when driving? It sounds like the beep when pressing the button to give a voice command, but not as loud. I heard it a few times, and thought it was the radio (thought maybe something with XM stations), but it wasn't. I'm just cruisin on a highway, or down a local road, and then "beep". THought it might be a reminder for low gas, or maintenance, or something, but that's not it. I didn't really notice it until a passenger said "what's that beep for?". I said "what beep?". They said "there's some beep every so often...". Then I started noticing it. Just started noticing today, so, don't know if it's been going on for awhile or not.

Any ideas?

Are you sure it's not because of something you or someone left in the car? Maybe a cell phone battery dying?

I've never heard any random beeps in the car, but plenty of random rattles!

Nope! Never.

yes... definitely not something left in the car. Oh well... it's off and on... I went driving today, didn't notice it...

whatever...

thanks for the replies.

If you do not have the drivers seatbelt fastened when driving, you will get a reminder chirp sound every so often.

It sounds like seatbelt to me. I have tried to ignore it, but it just never goes away! But I've heard that the airbag will not go off or will work incorrectly if no seat belt is on. Plus, we all love "Click it or Ticket" :sqntfawk:

I think the car beeps when the gas light comes on. Not sure if it was the car or the cd that was playing. It has happened more than once tho.

qali

not the seatbelt... when you drive without the seatbelt on, the MID turns yellow and tells you to fasten your seatbelts, doesn't it? I remember i drove without it before, when I was moving my car down the block...

My A1 service light just came on and I've heard a few beeps. Maybe it's the service indicator.

dont think it's the service indicator... i only have 600 miles!!! maybe it's a beep saying "break in period over... please rip me a new a$$hole and v-tec away!!!" ha

After reading this post, got in my car and started to hear random beeps! Turned out to be my cell phone's battery dying!

qali

well, haven't heard it since... prob. something like cell phone battery or something... i doubt i have a unique problem that NO ONE else has experienced in this forum...

again, thanks for the replies...

The 'random" beep occurs when your cell phone goes low. Figured it out yesterday.
