Today my lock/unlock chime or beep ( however you describe it) became very low on my 06. this is true if I use smart entry or the remote. It is beeping, but is barely audible ( first I thought it was off completely) I can't find anything in the manual. anyone have any thoughts on how to remedy the situation. I'd like it to chime louder again so I can here doors locking and alarm activated. thanks, Jay
Interesting. Are you sure you weren't just unlocking your car in a noisy environment, like adjacent to a construction zone or a freeway?
Yes, the only reason I heard the beep was when the car was in the garage with the door down. My wife's Prius is beeping just fine, so I know it's not my hearing. It was extremely wet and rainy here today, wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Beeping locks irritate the *%^& out of me. Wish I could get mine to turn down. Light flash is enough.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(edselpdx @ Jun 13 2006, 08:36 PM) [snapback]270824[/snapback]</div> I agree. I had a BMW which was programmable to eliminate the doorlock beep and would love to be able to get rid of the beep on my Prius, as well. The Prius has more than enough warning 'beeps'.
The dealer should be able to remove the beep and have the lights only edsel. Jennjay, hmm.. not sure. I do noticed my remote has a short range. I can't even lock it from across the street!
Just an update everyone, It took two weeks ( also 5 days on non driving in airport parking lot last week} but yesterday the beep started to get louder again. It's now back to normal. Wierd

Done both of ours already and it'll unlock across the parking lot at Brentwood. A bit trickier on the G2 straight forward on the G1, one small screw to take out to get the battery out.
I don't believe it has anything to do with the batteries in my 6 week old fobs/remotes. Both fobs did the same thing and the chirp is from the car whether I use the remote or just touch the door handle.
