After owning my LGT for a week or so, it's stopped beeping when I press lock on the key fob. It will still honk after I mash on the lock button for a few seconds, but no beep.

Maybe I disabled it somehow?

Any help?

Did you get a manual with the car? A standard feature in the capability to disable the chime.

It just requires pushing the right Fob buttons, to re-enable the chime. My car is covered in a foot of snow, otherwise I would give you the procedure

Turn your key fob over. There are directions on the back.

Did you fix it. Directions aren't on the back of my fob - just says 'car finder function - press 'lock symbol' 3 times within 5 seconds' and a short explanation that the panic button is a panic feature! and the battery type...

but I know this... press and hold the lock and unlock buttons for a few seconds until the beep returns - repeat to disable again.

I keep mine silent, I get home very late at night. Even with the beeps disabled you'll still be warned with the beeps if the car can't be locked properly (like you've left the trunk unlatched/door ajar etc.)

Sigma got it. I was just about to post that you can hold down the lock and unlock buttons at the same time to enable and disable the beep.

Just a thought, but I can engable/disable my beep from the in dash nav/fuel center just by navigating through the options.

This is a colossal pain in the butt. Half the time when I jam my keys into my handbag, the chime ends up disabled

There should be a way to set it, and forget it

The key word there for everyone playing along at home was "jam"
