Alarm beep upon locking the car

[DT 350]

Hi 

Just wondered if anyone knows how to activate the beep on the alarm when it locks? My old 350 sport used to beep went it locked. I’ve just collected my new 19MY 350 and it doesn’t make any noise.

Usually only beeps if something isn't closed correctly such as the front latch or boot.

You can double press the lock button which causes a different beep, this will de-activate the internal sensors (if you have any)

Mine doesn't make any noise as well, I think this is standard now.

It beeps briefly if you "lock" it twice, if I remember correctly, which means it's locked but not fully armed somehow (would need to check the manual for that).

Yes. I get the beep if I press it twice. But my old car use to beep when I locked it normally then beeped twice in my pressed the button twice to deactivate the alarm. 
 

I checked the manual and could find anything about activating / deactivating the lock beep.

Mine beeps when I press twice which I assume means the alarm/immobiliser are activated. Has never beeped when pressing open which sounds right to me

Pressing twice deactivates the alarm according to the manual. 
 

There must be a way of activating this. I miss it 🙈

Pressing twice locks the doors, activates the alarm with the immobiliser but deactivates the interior sensor.  And only then do you get the beep.

 

If it beeps whilst arming the alarm (one press or two presses) then something isn't closed.

No beep on "normal" lock/unlock IMO

Thanks but I’m looking to activate the beep. My old car did it. 
 

Also there isn’t an interior sensor according to the manual.

It got deleted on the later cars, don't know when exactly, mine does have one - MY14. Put your hand in the interior and alarm goes. 

 

Would be interested to know how your old car did the beep on the OEM alarm.

Just half-pop the front access, it will beep every time 😂
