Beeping after ignition turns off..

Incidentally, I wonder if this is where this bug is arising from. I wonder if they are using the same firmware in whatever controls the beeping for cars with traditional keys vs. cars with proximity keys.

It is somehow trying to warn you that you left your key in the ignition (which is impossible with the prox key).

This definitely has to do with the door opening while the car is still on (or key in ignition for a Premium model). The reason I didn't think so previously was because when I park on my driveway, I open the door to check how close I am to the edge of the driveway THEN close the door, then park, then turn the car off. For some reason it appears that the car notices the first door open event, but does not confirm the door close event. Odd. Will continue to try various permutations of my parking ritual and report back.

To those unsure of this beeping noise: it's completely different from the "you left the lights on" constant tone.

I have tracked this down and attributed it to how fast I open the door after turning the car off. Apparently, fast enough to make it think that I opened the door before the car was fully off.

Slow down and "smell the roses". You may want to consider turning engine off first, then the e-brake. This may delay your opening the the door too early. You may have your personal reason for applying e-brake before engine-off but to each his own.

I park on a steep incline. I go up the incline, press the clutch in, press the brake pedal, engage the parking brake, let go the brake pedal, turn the car off, release the clutch pedal. I've never believed there's anything wrong with my procedure, care to clarify?

I believe you just HAVE clarified. You had never mentioned parking on a "steep incline".

I've noticed the same thing on our BRZ. I'll stop, pull the ebrake, turn off the engine, take out the key, open the door, then hear the beeping. The first time it did it, I was really confused, since I had the key out of the ignition, the lights were off and everything. Our car is a Premium.

It sounds like it's coming from the alarm beep, not the "you left the key in the ignition" beep.

I need to remember to have my alarm enabled when I go to the dealership on Monday. I have no idea what either beep sounds like since I don't have an actual ignition cylinder/key. I do know what the "Moron, you left your lights on!" constant tone sounds like though!

It's possible to enable the alarm on your own. There is a thread, and sorry I was too lazy to find it for you

Haha, thanks for the assist anyway. I recall it was a tricky procedure with opening doors and closing doors...I'll just let them push the button on their Subaru Select Monitor.

My typical procedure: Stop car, seatbelt off (if not sooner), trans in park, neutral or in gear depending upon circumstances and trans type, handbrake on, ignition off - key in pocket or hand, open door, lock door with inside switch if necessary, close door.

There may be some variation in the steps above but certainly ignition is off and key in possession before opening door. (I have Premium model)


Note: many cars now have, and have had for some time, a locking/unlocking system to help prevent operators from locking themselves out. It is called in the industry: "idiot proofing". I had a GM car recently whereby there was a 5-6 second delay before the doors locked themselves (after one had manually locked the doors from the inside before getting out (and subsequently closed the doors). It gave idiots the benefit of the doubt (for several seconds). It always helps to read the manual on these things since cars can vary in their locking/unlocking logic.

It used to be, before the popularity of plug-in devices like cellphones, when one turned the ignition off and pulled the key out all outlets, or some outlets, would be inoperable. Now when the ignition is turned off there is a several minute delay on at least some plug-in outlets before circuits are opened (no juice).

Fuck off

post was made a year prior to your join date, was that even necessary?

edit: and boo for that long rant for thinking everyone should do like him.

The beeping is there to remind you how awesome your car is.

I dance to the beeps.

Revived a 3 year old thread just to say that, lol. Hope he wasn't holding that in the entire time. To contribute, beeping still occurs in the 2017 BRZ.
