Triple honk, with fob where it should be.

[Atlas]

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...

Hmmmm. Interesting. I’ve never set up a profile on mine. 

[Aaaaaaaayush]

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.
