Anyone know the coding for this to be tuned off using BimmerCode?
Incredibly annoying "feature" they added.

Did you try turning the acoustic thingy on lock/unlock off on the iDrive? What software version do you have on your m340i? My 08/19 manufactured 330i doesn’t do that.

Mine doesn't honk (maybe is country specific), but there is an option to activate or deactivate a sound when you open/close the car. If I remember correctly, you can change that behaviour in car->Setting->Doors or open/closing, something like that.

Yup. The acoustic signal. But I think that’s the beep and not the horn. Since my car beeps when you lock or unlock it. Maybe it’s different in his car?

Yes, single beep when closing and double beep when opening, if I remember correctly.

It's annoying, but necessary. Lot's of folks leave their cars without realizing they're still on.

Yes it used to not make any sound with the engine running but would still lock vs making the acoustic sound when the engine is off. Now it honks the horn. I would rather it just turns off the engine when you lock with the key fob and the vehicle is in park.

My e93 f32 didn't and my f15 doesn't do this. That's why I find it extra annoying; the honks remind me of a GM 😑😑

You could overcome the two loud beeps on the F3x by holding the remote against the drivers door glass when you locked the car. Sadly, this trick doesn't work with the G20.

Just to confirm, when you turn off the acoustic lock/unlock signal in iDrive your car no longer blasts the horn when you lock it from outside the car with the engine running?

Didn't try that tbh. But it turned off the single and dual beep so turned it back on. I don't leave it running often enough to sacrifice lock confirmation sound

Dont have the exact value but i coded it so it doesnt honk on lock/unlock while car is running. Check the main coding thread here and you should be able to find it, i believe it even can be done through a cheat code. Thats always drove me nuts on all my BMWs so its one of the first things i code.

For anyone else with the same annoyance I had.

BimmerCode beta now has the option to remove the honking with engine running.

My UK spec G20 came with a noisy 'double beep' on locking and unlocking. I switched this off somewhere in SETTINGS.

Wish I could switch off the really annoying double beep when closing the boot using Comfort Access I.e. Foot under the bumper thing.

Answers on a postcard please!!
