I would like to make this vehicle silent when I open and lock it with the fob, to keep noise down in the neighborhood.
Thanks in advance!

Mike, I do not see how that procedure will silence the horn from activating when you lock or unlock the vehicle using the fob. ???

Hi,

I noticed you haven't been contacted for a few days. By chance, have you made any progress?

Let me know. If you haven't made progress, I will do some digging for you, but I have a feeling it can't be done. However, I've been wrong before. LOL

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe

Hello Joe, no progress. Thank you for checking. Perhaps a dealership will know (for $$$, haha).

Hi,

I wish I had an easy answer, but even after looking through two different professional manuals, there is nothing indicated. I suspect you need someone that can rewrite the programming.

Regardless, if by chance you take it to a dealer, let me know what they tell you. Also, it's free to call and ask the service manager. See what they tell you.

Take care,

Joe
