I've often thought how convenient it would be to have the horn sound as the indicators flash when locking or unlocking the i30.
Has anyone tried this modification or have any ideas on how it might be done?

I would find that annoying actually, especially when I'm trying to sneak in. :mrgreen:
-
Why not just give the horn a good blast before you get out of the car.......... :whistler:

Crafty old b*#tard, asa. I'm sure the noise you'd make after getting inside would be far worse than the sound of the horn beeping :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Just imagine if you lived on a street with lots of cars parked at the curb. Everytime someone locks or unlocks their car, even at 3am. .... "Beep! Beep". :evil:
Bloody road runners. ;)

Indicator flashes are just fine unless you are blind... then you shouldn't really be driving... :P

What if you need the sound of the horn to find your car???

My memory hasn't got that bad yet lol! :whistler: :whistler:

No way would I want it nor would I want other cars in the street doing it.
Here there are people coming and going during the "sleep" hours and would get really annoyed if I was woken up just so someone could confirm their car was locked....

We have 3 buttons on the key. Push "unlock" button & "tailgate" button at the same time once, the indicator will on for 1 time.
This will set horn sound "on" when locking. Do it again will set the sound "off".
Here our factory default is "on", but I set it "off" now. :happydance:

Doesn't work on my 2011 U.K. model. Perhaps it can be set via the dealers computer?
It's not so long ago since all alarms had a warning chirp when locking.

Our Toyota Hybrid does.. It is fairly innocuous though...

Mmm, perhaps my button layout is different from yours. :P
Mine is:
#1 lock
#2 unlock
#3 tailgate

THis is my UK 2010/11 i30 Key Fob
It is different - and trying different combinations of holding 2 buttons down has absolutely no effect

Does anyone have any idea how a mod might be done so that the horn does beep when locked :question: :question:

It could be worth asking the Dealer or Hyundai Australia by email it might be programable :goodjob:

Why don"t you get chirpstar i think it's from innoparts
i think that it sounds more luxurious

It doesn't work on mine. I'd like to hear the beep as I often walk out of the car, use the boot to grab my bags, then have to worry if I remembered to lock it (maybe I'll get into the habit of watching for the light blink more).
Here's what my fob looks like.
-
I like the idea of that, but I know the SIII Coupe's and some other Hyundai's maybe, had the option to sound the horn only via the remote locking key, other manufacturer's also do it. Id love that option, so when a wee kid comes near, i could hide and hit the button, scaring him...
I really also want to know how to make the window go up/down on the lock/unlock :( Friends mazda 3 does it, he only found out after a year haha, but mine wont, even though ive the auto windows all round

Normally the power to the windows is disabled shortly after the key is removed from the ignition. You would need to modify that function as part of this Mod I assume :idea:

Wonder could it be done via the ECU?

Did anyone ever find out if this was possible?

Welcome fetflex to the forum, hope you have a long association and some fun with the rest of us here.
I think when this question was raised most agreed that we wouldn't want to do this due to noise issues. If for whatever reason you need or wish to, you would need to find an activated wire to take a signal from the use a relay to fire the horn. I'm not aware of such a signal wire but the ECU obviously is. It could be a complex job, but anything is possible if you want it enough. :neutral:

My previous car (Seat Ibiza Sport) could be programmed to beep when locking/unlocking with the fob by an adapter called VAG-COM as well as varying the weighting of the power steering and a few other bit and bobs like closing the windows automatically when you lock the car. I'm not sure if something similar exists for our i30's but if not then I suspect the dealer will have a gizmo to access the variable functions.

VAG-COM is powerful stuff,
so much can be done with it.... e/g window closing etc, would love to know if this stuff can be done for hyundai.. shall have to pickle one of our techie's brains

Hi fetflex
Welcome to this wonderfull place. :D
Having the horn sound when locking the doors makes no sense to me. There's allready the turnsignals flashing, and to be absolutely sure the car is locked, you need to grab the doorhandle to see if the car is locked.
There have been stories about people using these jammers that obstruck the signal from the remote, and if I was your neighbour I would be annoyed about the horn sounding every morning...
-
I'd find the remote opening & closing of the windows really useful, Mrs Ffoxy's 2003 Fiat 1.2 Stilo had that function.

this would be aweome!
i reckon you would need the anti-trap windows all round featured on the premium specification though... well UK spec premium. not sure how other markets are :)
-
Thanks for all the answers.
My thought was in car parks and such where it can be a hassle to find the car sometimes it would be nice to have an feature that sounded the horn. But as I can see its not an standard feature, so it can't be done without mods?
The window auto roll up feature would be really neat.
-
there is 2 sets of horns on the i30... one under the bonnet and one behind the grille... run a power to the under bonnet horn from the indicator trigger on the alarm side of things and it would work... obviously one beep, then the two beeps for lock and unlock :)
-
run a power to the under bonnet horn from the indicator trigger on the alarm side of things
other wise when you indicate your horn will be going off :P :rofl:

LOLZ!! that would make people MOVE when merging!!

It would depend from where the "indicator" supply was taken as both indicators only flash together when the hazard lights or door locking are operating.
Or fit a changeover relay to supply current from indicators to horn only when the ignition is off.............. :idea:
.... or fit an independent piezo buzzer instead of using the alarm horn?
Strangely I have just had a problem with the door locking.
The driver's side rear door wouldn't unlock from the outside occasionally unless the button on the driver's armrest was used. Yesterday I couldn't lock the car with the remote and although the remote light was blinking nothing happened. Using the key in the driver's door locked it but didn't lock the rear door. Quick look in the handbook gave some advice which had no effect. Then I walked round the car and opened, then shut, each door in turn after which all was normal.

If I press my lock button on the remote twice or more the horn sounds.

It's a 2010 Elantra Touring (same as an i30cw but re-branded for North Americans).

Same for me. Canadian model. I often do it if I'm walking away and I'm too lazy to look back at the flashing lights :lol:
-
I found that pressing unlock and tailgate together turns auto locking on or off.
