How to make Horn honk when locking doors?
Why wife wants to know how to make the horn honk when she locks the doors. Is it possible? The lights simply flash when locking the doors using the key.
Thanks.

Why do you want to annoy the neibourhood each time you lock the D3 ?
The lights flash to say "hey lady, I am locked now. Nite Nite"

You may be able to do it in the USA, in the UK it is now part of the vehicle contruction regs, I believe, that alarms must not honk the horn or even bleep to confirm locking. This was because of the annoyance caused to residents of quiet leafy avenues that the honking horn causes. Even the alarm on the RRS and I assume the D3 is very quiet now!Now a disillusioned new Land Rover buyer and have jumped ship to something less expensive and more reliable that hugs trees.... now driving a Mini Countryman PHEV as well as my trusty and brilliant 1996 Epsom Green Defender90 Tdi300

Get her one of these and see if your dealer can intergrate it into the key

Quiet!! That's an understatement. It's absolutely c p. Left the dog in the car the other day and she set the alarm off when she got all excited and jumped around as she saw us coming back. Could hardly hear the alarm from any more than 6 feet away and the dog wasn't fazed at all. The kids and my partner said "what's that noise?". I said "it's the alarm - I forgot to disarm the internal protection and that daft mutt has set it off". They all looked at me and said "That's the alarm? You're joking aren't you? It's pathetic!"
A mouse could make more noise farting!
Believe me, your alarm is not going to alert you that some f kwit is trying to break into your car unless you're sat in it at the time! It didn't when this happened to me!Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills
