Q: How do I silence the beep when I lock my car?

asked by on March 05, 2017

I recently got my battery changed and now my car beeps really loud when I lock it/ unlock it or when I open the door after I turn my car off. I assume this is because it has reverted back to the factory setting. I have not been able to find anything in the owners manual that specifically says how to change it. The beep is so loud now and it drives me crazy. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!!!
