Rick369 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) I have a 2017 Titanium AWD. I updated Sync 3 to version 3.0 a few weeks ago. After the update, I noticed that I no longer get the double horn beep after closing the driver front door after exiting, while the engine is still running. The key is in my pants pocket and not in the vehicle. Edited May 29, 2018 by Rick369 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Are you sure your second key isn't somewhere in the vehicle? The Sync update should have nothing at all to do with that setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben senise Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 or you're possibly leaving the door slightly ajar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Ford vehicle owners are very annoyed by that "double honk" and have to have someone turn it off by using a laptop with the Forscan program…. You got it for free!

Rick369 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) I just went out to the Edge and tested it twice. There is no longer a double honk after I exit the Edge while it is running with the key in my pocket. All the doors are fully closed. My wife has the second key in her dresser drawer, which I verified is there. The double honk stopped after I updated Sync 3 with version 3.

Rick369 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) My double honk is back. I got to thinking that maybe my horn was not working and that is the reason for not getting the double honk. I went out this morning and after starting the Edge I tried the horn. Nothing! I went to my local Ford dealer and the wiring connector for the the horn was not fully snapped in and secured. The dealer said it could of been that way from the factory and it got jostled around after going over numerous bumps over the past year. The wiring connector is secured and snapped in place now. The horn works and the double honk is back. Sync 3 version 3 update and the horn not working were just coincidence.

cabin393 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) How do you disable the double horn honk, if you briefly get out of vehicle with the fob in your pocket, in order to not wake the neighbors?

akirby Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Yes, but how do you disable the double horn honk if you get out of vehicle, for any reason, while leaving fob in cup holder? There should be no double honk if you leave the fob in the cup holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 He is probably talking about trying to lock the fob in the car with it running. Use the keypad on the exterior to lock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 How do you disable the double horn honk, if you briefly get out of vehicle with the fob in your pocket, in order to not wake the neighbors? The easiest solution by far is simply to not close the door all the way. Option 2 is turn off the vehicle. It's already in Park so that's not a big deal unless you want to leave it running for hvac. Option 3 is to leave the fob in the vehicle. Option 4 is to use Forscan to disable it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Georgia Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Just making sure... If I leave the fob in the vehicle and close the door then I will need to use the key pad to get in right?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Only if you lock it with the keypad or another fob. It won't lock with the fob inside just using the inside lock button. You can unlock it with the keypad or another fob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksquared Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Thanks all for your responses. I had never heard of Forscan. Now I downloaded a copy and have ordered an ELM327 adapter. It will be interesting hacking into the Edge. Professionally I do something like that for Tesla vehicles (mostly Roadsters and S) which are loaded with electronics. I just wanted a nice vehicle for family use but it looks like I just can't avoid the reverse engineering role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still have time, might want to consider the OBDLink EX adapter that was developed with input from the ForScan team. I think they even benefit from it which which then support their work.

SwornEnema Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 #4 is by far the best option. Forscan can do this and tons of other things, and is very easy to use, especially in newer Fords. I live in a city, so I'm not leaving my door open. There's also the probability of rain or snow getting in the car. Get you an ELM327 and Forscan, and pay for the premium license. It's well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's well worth it I am with you, I am all in with ForScan, but you don't have to leave the door open, if you just latch it to the 1st lock the door will not open if locked and since it is not fully closed would not double chirp/horn.
