Audible chirp for X3 without Nav
Hi all,
I read that a security alarm is standard on the 2013 X3 -- so audible chirp when locking should be a possibility. I know you can set it to chirp if you have navigation, but what about vehicles without nav? Does it chirp by default? If not, can you program it to? Thanks |

Aw, I don't even have the car yet and I'm already starting to regret skipping the Nav option... I like configurability.
So by default, it chirps when you lock/unlock or is it silent? My 07 328i and 11 128i didn't chirp at all. But the again, they didn't have an alarm. |

my '12 has no Nav/tech pkg...
Lock - 1 chirp Unlock - 2 chirps But when any one of the door is open then it locks without chirp until the doors are closed and you will hear the chirp. |

I have a 2012 UK 30d. No chirp on lock or unlock. I don't know any cars in the UK which chirp with factory fit locking. Maybe it's a UK regulation?
Maybe can be enabled via coding? |

The presence (or not) of Navigation should not matter. There is still a control display screen on X3s without Navigation, just a smaller one.
There should be three types of chirps. 1 chirp - Lock, 2 chirps - Unlock, 3 chirps - Can't lock (i.e. keyfob in car) Press the iDrive Menu button, then select Settings, Door Locks. Checking "Acoustic signal for locking/unlock" will enable the lock/unlock chirp. |

My 2011 530d does not chirp and doesn't have the option to configure this either.

Try deselecting it and reselecting it.
Press the iDrive Menu button, then select Settings, Door Locks. Unchecking "Acoustic signal for locking/unlock" will disable the lock/unlock chirp. Press the iDrive Menu button, then select Settings, Door Locks. Checking "Acoustic signal for locking/unlock" will enable the lock/unlock chirp. |

Likewise. I sorta looked forward to find it after reading this topic... the audible tweet can be annoying (to everyone else) but it could be quite handy..
