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.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
