Triple honk, with fob where it should be.

My 2020 is giving me a triple honk when I enter the vehicle and close the driver's door, before starting it. The fob is either in my hand, or in my pocket--doesn't seem to make a difference, it still honks 3 times in rapid succession.

 

I think there is an option to disable the audible alert for fob proximity via the infotainment controls, but first I want to figure out why this isn't working as it should. With the fob on my person, inside the vehicle, I don't think there should be an alert for this condition.

 

Any ideas?

I spent some time on this today and discovered my "profile" was set up to be primary on only one of the truck's keys, Key 1. I've been using key 2 since I drove it off the lot. The other key I keep in a safe, far away from the truck. I put a check mark next to the other key in my profile also, so the profile should be attached to both keys now.

 

I've been in/out of the truck with the key in my left pocket several times today and it's never honked at me for key issues. Now, when I start it, when it loads my profile it says "key 2 recognized" or something like that.

 

To test the alert, I left the key in the truck, exited, and closed the door. It honked 3x confirming the alert was working correctly and the key had been left in the truck.

 

I'll give it some time to see if it works long-term. So far, it's working...

I literally noticed this problem yesterday, I do use Key 1 and have since i bought the truck. I think its an update issue (got an update last week) and the triple honk happens a lot when it shouldn't.

Update: Yeah, that didn't fix it. I've turned off the reminder/alert to see if I can just get the thing to shut up. But that doesn't stop the truck's confusion about the fob location when I'm in/out of the truck or need to leave it running. This is over-complicated and unnecessary technology IMO. Not a boomer, just a 40 year old who does technology for a living, continually asking, "who actually needs this ******?!" Things in vehicles designed to "aid" in the operation and driving of a vehicle are actually more complicated than the acts of operating and driving themselves, something I'm hesitant to describe as "progress".

 

I'll get off my soapbox now, for anyone who remembers wtf a soapbox is, it was actually before my time too, but it was the ancient equivalent of youtube/tiktok whereby someone broadcasted to the world their opinions and judgements, whether anyone actually wanted to hear them, or not.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
