I've got VAG-COM and I've enabled the convenience menu, but when I change ATA Confirmation to "off", my horn still beeps when I lock the car. Is there something I've missed? Is ATA Confirmation not what controls that?

Is the Horn and the Alarm beep the same unit? Maybe a fuse?
Two days ago, my horn began honking for no reason...as if the anti theft alarm was going off. I was able to shut it off only by putting the key in its ignition. Last night, the possession by the devil was complete and at 10:30pm, my car began to honk (same as before) incessantly... and I wasn't able to turn it off. This happened about 5 time within 30 minutes. I tried to disconnect the battery but of course, the Prius designers placed the battery in a location that makes it impossible to disconnect. Why this horn malfunction is occurring?
View 5 RepliesI went to an independent repair shop to try and have my rain sensor and window up and down by remote(vag) he got the vag tricks to work but the alarm wouldn't respond.
He sent me to the dealer to reset everything they reset things but the alarm still doesn't beep when you turn it on. of course the dealer reset all the vag tricks. I also checked the ATA on the mfi but nothing ...
I got my GTI exactly one week ago. I brought it to the car wash today. When I got home and hit the lock with the remote, the car did not make the "beep" sound with the horn. I unlocked it and checked all the doors and the hatch to be sure they were properly closed, and they were. Then, I hit the lock from the remote and the doors locked, but no "beep".
View 7 RepliesHow I can disable the horn toot each time I want to lock the car? The lights flashing is sufficient I think.
View 14 RepliesHow come this isn't in the MFD settings? I hate my horn beeping when I lock the doors. So are we able to set this to not beep? I think on the MKV it was under ATA settings or something.

View 4 RepliesWe have a 2008 Lexus RX350. We prefer the horn over beep to notify us the doors are locked. Can we change this or does the dealer have to do it?
View 5 Replies2003 Ford F150, 101,000 miles. While driving, the horn beeps twice, and so does the chirper (makes chipping sound). This is the same noise the truck makes when you reconnect the battery after changing it. Its been really cold lately, and seems to get worse when the road is bumpy.
View 4 RepliesI just bought a 2010 f150 and it came with the single button remote start. I've been reading lots of posts about remote start but none with my issue. Mine when you push the button the horn beeps, ignition comes on, the seat slides forward, then the horn beeps just one time again, and it just sits there with the radio playing and not running. Everyone else is getting a 3 beep error code and I'm getting just the one beep.
View 8 RepliesMiss the horn beep on my Murano when I locked or unlocked the RX doors. The RX blinks it's lights and I guess there is a dash beep (which I can't hear). I read and read and read the manual but can't find where I can customize to get a horn beep.

View 9 RepliesMy alarm is arming but no horn sound. No horn when the ignition is not on. I get flashing lights when the alarm is armed and set off, but no horn. What this could be? Is there a separate horn for the alarm? And where is it located?
View 8 RepliesI am having strange problem with my alarm horn. Some days ago alarm went off midnight and I had to leave the trunk open to stop it. Later in morning I found that when I lock the car with remote it doesn't sound but on pressing panic button it sounds well. I have checked water leaks, damp carpet, re-programmed remote, re-connected battery, got new FOB batteries and all door and trunk latches; all are fine. I ran OBD II and VAG COM but no codes found. On locking it locks all doors and hazard light blinks but horn do not sound.
View 6 RepliesI installed a remote start a while back. What I am struggling with is every other time or 3rd time I try to start it the horn goes off like a car alarm. Initially I was having a key issue and would get the immobilizer alert on the dash and It would fire and then shut off. Now if the horn starts going off all I do is hit the lock button and it stops after a couple honks and then starts like nothing happened.
View 2 RepliesI noticed that when I go to lock my car, the beep sound is extremely low, than at other times it is of normal loudness. I could be wrong, but is it possible there is an association with the altering sound and the rain? It seems after the rain it happens for a few days, then gets better.
View 2 RepliesYesterday, my SC430 started screeching and the VSC lights came on. I had never heard this alarm before -- sort of between a whistle and a screech. I was a few blocks from home, so I continued on. I did not notice if the ABS light was on at this time, but I don't think it was, because I would have noticed an unusual light on the dash.
I disconnected the battery briefly, but not 3 minutes, and the alarm continued when I switched the car on. This morning, I disconnected the battery again, this time for more than 3 minutes. Again, the alarm screeched when I started the car and pulled out of the garage. I switched it off, and then back on, and the alarm stopped. I thought I had solved the problem. I was wrong.
Later this morning, I drove to the bank, and when I took it out of drive after visiting the ATM, the alarm started again. It continued until I got home. This time, the ABS light is on, in addition to the VSC lights.
On the way to the bank, I made one fairly hard stop at a yellow light, but I have made far harder stops without any lights -- and especially annoying alarms -- coming on.
None of the posts I have found here mention this alarm when the ABS light is discussed.
I have checked the brake fluid level, and it was full. The car was in a Toyota dealership last month for its 120,000-mile timing belt, and the rear brake shoes and rotors were replaced then.
I have yet to begin checking the fuses, but I don't really think this is the problem. Before I try bridging the post in the computer terminal, I plan to visit the local auto-parts store that will read the computer for trouble codes.
Alarm went off when my wife started the car. Horn and lights started going on & off. My wife disconnected the fuse to the horn & then the battery was disconnected. That stopped the alarm; we hooked the battery back up & the horn fuse was reinstalled. We tried to start the car, but it only turns over. It won't run.
View 3 RepliesI have a 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 extended cab. Two nights in less than a week, my horn has went off in alarm mode. Is there another reason for this other than an attempted jimmying of the lock? I live in a decent neighborhood with lots of pole lighting. Someone told me the keyfob battery was dying but I don't have the fob.
