    We just traded in our '05 Prius for an '07 Prius Touring (which corners MUCH better, rides smoother, has less cabin noise, & feels much more solid than the '05 & the non-touring '07 we test drove). I'm frustrated, though, by my inability to find instructions in the Owner's Manual for disabling the car horn, which honks (a very meek honk, as my spouse points out, but I still hate the noise) whenever we lock or unlock the car. I know our '05 didn't do this. But I can't remember if that's because we asked to have the horn honk disabled when the SmartKey was initially programmed for the car.

    Does anybody know the answer to this one?

    We have a 2007 Prius base model, and we miss the beep when we lock it! Our previous car always beeped, and we can't find instructions on enabling that...

    That's a tough one to answer.

    My 2007 touring does not honk when locking the doors.

    It beeps a little beep, but the horn is not involved.

    If that is a variable option, I bet the dealer is the one to call.

    Thanks, Patrick. You were right. I took the car to the dealer's service center and they reprogrammed the alarm system. No more honking when we lock/unlock doors. Just the old familiar beep.
