upon locking Camaro...horn beeps? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Can anyone advise if it is possible that when locking the Camaro can the horn be silenced so as to be stealth? I get home around 3 am from work and don't want to wake the neighborhood.
Can dealership program this? Or is this something I have to deal with? Thanks ahead of time.

its in the manual. There are several variations of locking features in the "configurations".

You can lock it from the inside.

Excellent! Thanks for the quick response. I'm just finishing up touches on writing up a checklist to give to the dealership.

Good luck - are you getting ready to order or getting ready to pick it up?

Press once it locks press a second time the horn goes on.

Getting ready to pick it up...Hopefully within next two weeks.

Yeah I was gonna say, mine only beeps if you press the lock button twice

binlow84 · 06-15-2009, 06:22 PM

My Cavalier does the same thing. Once simply locks all doors and twice locks with the horn, signaling the "anti-theft" activation. If you try to open the door without unlocking it with the fob first (whether it's manually unlocking from the inside or even from the outside with the key) the horn goes off (panic mode) until you start the car. I've just gotten into the habit of locking twice for both the audio feedback as well as for potentially fooling the local thieves. Chances are if anyone breaks out a window they will then unlock the door to get better access so they'll trip the panic mode, keep them from stealing my non-stock stereo perhaps.

Anyway, if the Camaro defaults to the same behavior just hit the lock button once and it should be silent, as mentioned above.

What he said!

Lucky SOB · 06-15-2009, 06:57 PM

yup, only beeps after two clicks

2010SSRS · 06-15-2009, 09:38 PM

page 4-28 of the manual i believe. you can access the configuration menu and in there under "vehicle settings" you will have an option to set it to:

- lights
- horn
- lights and horn

very simple..............

Driver's door won't lock while it's open.
