    Hi I have a 2012 Prius C II my question is why is that when I press the Fob key to Lock/Unlock I only get a flashing light. (Headlights) there is no sound at all. How do I activate it so it flashes and have sound? Thanks

    If the c honked the horn every time it was locked or unlocked I'd desperately be looking for some way to make it stop. :)

    Use the "panic mode" button if you like to make noise with the remote.

    it's not supposed to have sound.. the package 3-4 does with the smart key though for the reasons so the smart key owner knows when the cars lock and unlock.. but for package 1 and 2.. there are buttons.

    i actually prefer the car not to make any annoying sounds when i lock/unlock my vehicle.

    Aw, this will be my first car with a remote, and I wish it made a little honk when locking. It's just kind of satisfying, and it's nice if you've walked away from the car and are second-guessing whether you locked it. Oh well. I'm sure I'll love the car just the same.

    Just watch for the lights - they will flash when it is locking (at least it does on my old Prius, I don't have my C yet).

    I personally can't stand the cars that honk the horn when locking/unlocking - especially on my residential street.
