    I've about given up trying to find out how to do this. I'm about ready to take a pair of diagonal cutters to the horn wires. Maybe someone can help me.

    When I get out of my car, close the driver's door, not locking it, and go around to the back and open the hatchback, the horn beeps once. I REALLY don't like that because my neighbors live close and I don't wish to disturb them late at night/early in the morning. Is there a way to disable the horn beep? The lock/unlock soft beep is not a problem. I only object to the loud horn beep.

    Thank you.

    I do not get that horn beep when opening the rear hatch of my 2007 Package #2.

    I don't get that beep on my 2005 either. I'd take it to the dealer and let them hear it.

    I have a brand new 2008 and there is no horn beep when I open the trunk, I think you should definately call the dealer, they need to look at this..

    I rarely lock my car in the garage, and opening the hatch makes no horn beep either....just a hatch-open light on the dash.

    Check in with the dealer, maybe there's something need to be reprogrammed.

    OP is going to bring it back to his dealer

    On his other thread on the subject, Halfnuts said that he was going to bring it back to his dealer.
