I have a2003 Jaguar xk8. when trying to lock with fob getting a horn noise

 

The security module 'bleeps' when locking and unlocking. Sounds perfectly normal

 

There are 2 noises?
One is a CONFORMATION and the other is an ERROR tone.

Which one is it?

 

I get an audible rude burp when I turn on the car alarm if I’ve left a door open, trunk/boot open, bonnet up, glovebox etc. Basically car seems to be telling me that I’ve forgotten to secure the car properly.

 

Glove box??? Really? That,,, I did not know!

 

Hmmm,

Just checked glovebox. Nope, I was mistaken! Sorry. Probably confused with my late Dad’s Merc.

 

Cool! Thank you, D. And thx for checking... Good to know. Ya must know why I ask lol,,, swim team xkr has a million lil Gremlins,,, and things to do with the alarm are definitely on the list.

 

Genius.

 

There are two... Right all clear and secure tone is a nice little chirp. One chirp (on mine) is locked/activated. 2 chirps, deactivated/unlocked... The,,, something is wrong/open/unsecure is a much longer weird beeeep, noise.

Will chirp and lock with the top down, tho.

Oh,,, and, coinciding lights flash, with Chrips one and two

 

If it is the 'car not secure ' tone triggered by the boot, bonnet or doors not being closed, you'd also see that in the message center during normal operation.

 

I think we are discussing this amongst ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!
OP is not replying so it all seems moot?
