That's a great question
There is no way to disable it at this time. I doubt there ever will be. That being said, the big topic in the other thread was that some cars did honk and some didn't... There was nothing we could find that said if a car would or wouldn't honk. Of the three cars I test drove, none of them honked. The salesman got out of the car with the key on the first test drive and I deliberately tested it on the next two cars I drove. It lets you know with an interior chime and a message on the MFT screen, but no honks on any of them.Was there a solution in the other thread? Sometimes these threads get ridiculously long and out of topic and it's impossible to follow and keep up with lol
Once the car is started you can leave the key as far away as the car will drive on one tank. It won't shut off the engine if it leaves the proximity of the key.I'm still getting used to having to give my key to valet, I've forgotten like two times and so far they've been able to drive off with the car and no issues other than "Where's the key?" lol...I was surprised, I thought car would shut off or something...hmmm
Essentially if getting car-jacked, we're screwed lolThere is no way to disable it at this time. I doubt there ever will be.

Well if you leave your car running in a car with a real key, the key is in the car so if it's stolen they have the key and the car. If anything, it might be ideal that if you leave your car running and get carjacked but you have the key, once the carjacker turns off the car they can't turn it back on. Really, if your car is carjacked, no matter what you're kinda screwed... The way to avoid it is to turn off the car and lock it if you're leaving it somewhere.Essentially if getting car-jacked, we're screwed lol![]()
Lol..Actually, with the number of people I know who CAN drive a manual (damn few), once they pop the clutch and kill it, there you go. They're stuck.
I believe the deal is once all doors are shut and they key is on the exterior of the car is when it honks. So if the driver's door is the only one open and you shut it with the car running with key in hand, if it were to ever honk that would be the moment it would honk. You can technically bypass the honking by not completely shutting the door or leaving the key in the car. The main reason it even came up is because so many people up North have to warm up/thaw out their cars before they leave, so they start it up, get out, shut the door and *honk honk* waking up the neighbors at 6am.Mine personally doesn't do this... last time someone posted about it I went down and checked.. Started up the car in front of the house, and went to the end of the back yard, and nothing. Have tried it a few times different distances, and no honks.
Well, I am up north, and have already had the pleasure of the below zero temps in the ST but I garage mine. Kind of besides the point in my case though. (And I'm sure many have had it much colder).I believe the deal is once all doors are shut and they key is on the exterior of the car is when it honks.
