Hey guys quick question here, does anyone know if there's a way to disable the horn when locking the vehicle twice with the keyfob? I love the remote start but I don't like that it honks. My brother-in-law's '17 Sierra doesn't do it. Thanks

Should be in the settings section on your touch screen.

I'd like to take the opportunity and thank you for considering to disable the horn when locking the truck.

It's the most annoying feature on a car, ever.

It must be that the higher-up management people from the manufacturers live far enough from their next neighbor.

They can't hear the neighbor's car honking twice when he's "double locking" it.

Maybe even three times, for good measure.

I appreciate you j-ten but have you not ever walked away from your truck and, right before walking in to Target, wonder if you've locked it? HONK. Yep, I did.

It's the first thing I disable and have no worries about vehicle being locked when I walk away from. It's called habit. I always use the interior door lock switch on the way out.

lol Of course it has happened to me. Not only once.

Now, I lock the truck when I'm still standing right beside it and see the knobs going down and/or the lights flashing. And I'm sure that my neighbors appreciate that I disabled the horn.

The funny thing is that some people are standing right beside their car and pressing the lock button 3-4-5 times. Or walk away 100', turn around and then press the button multiple times. As if they couldn't hear the horn the first time.

What's the point of that? :dunno:

^^ I have horrible memory and I'm paranoid, I trust very few people. Plus the horn is nice when I can't see my truck and want to auto start it.

 

As far as hitting the lock switch on the door as far as I know that doesn't enable the alarm? Even though the alarm is probably easily disable I still want the random thief that gets my door open to be deafened by my horns going off.

 

As far as on topic yeah the manual will tell you how to disable the horns when locking.

Usually I'm still sitting in the living room and finish my morning coffee when I remote start my truck.

Why do you have to see your truck to start it?

 

As for locking the (my) truck.

One push on the lock button will lock the doors and enable the alarm with a delay of 30 sec.

The second push on the button will enable the alarm instantly and (would) honk the horn.

I actually use the OnStar app more than my key fob for remote start. Yes it takes a few more "clicks" but it can be done from any range and you get confirmation that the truck started.

 

ADDED IN EDIT:

Sorry I just saw in your sig that you have a 2009. No app for you :tear:

Plus I'm too cheap for onstar. I never renewed it after however long dad had it paid through when I took over the truck when he passed.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
