Cool Locking\unlocking the car
Hi everyone,

Sorry if this is a silly question but I could not find any info on it.
I have an AUIII, does anyone know whether they have the capability to "beep" when you lock or unlock the door like some other brands of cars.

cheers.

No beeping, just blinkers. Though once locked, if you press lock again, it will beep. Also, if you hold down the red button on the remote, it may beep. (press again to stop).

I'm in tears laughing at that one. I know mine loves to give a little beep if you press that red button.

The red button must be the Falcon G-Spot - it really excites them!
