This is news to me.

Wonder if it's specific to Canada, 2015, or the higher trim level?
Hmmm. Well I remember the 2013 touring I drove beeped too. Maybe the smart key models beep?

What trim? I thought it was a setting. I turned off honk/beep on lock immediately on getting access to the iMid. :)

Maybe it's beep on the upper trims and honk on the lower trims?
Did your exl ever honk the horn?

Correct. Smart Key models beep, regular key models honk.

In order for regular key models to honk, push the LOCK button twice.

That makes sense. Does it beep on the first push? Now I'm wondering if there's a way to rig up the lower trim levels to beep on the first push and honk on the second.

No, you don't have the sound box or whatever it's called in the left rear of the vehicle to make the beep sound if you don't have Smart Entry. This was discussed somewhere on this forum last year, I remember seeing it when we both had our first 9ths. :banana:

I figured not, but maybe there's a way to add it and play with the wiring? Maybe I'll see if I can dig up that thread.

By the way, I still blame you for egging me on to buy the Sport. Not that I'm complaining... :yes:

HAHAHA that's funny! I may be selling the Accord soon, if we end up moving to Chicago as planned next year. Our Fusion is 16 payments from paid off, and we only need one car.:yes:

Then this is where we differ. I'm still on the 15 year plan for this car!
 
My '15 Sport honks when I lock/unlock it but then again I have an alarm system installed from the dealer.

Sell Fusion, keep accord. You will be $$$ ahead.

Sorry I mean beep, not honk. I have a 2014 EXL. I just discovered the click twice to beep recently. I'd really like to have the car beep on the first click of the smart key, though. Doesn't seem like this is possible...

Maybe it's beep on the upper trims and honk on the lower trims?
 
Vehicles that honk when the door locks annoys me. It would kill me if I lived in an apartment by the parking lot and would hear the honk from doors being locked all the time lol. A beep just seems more refined and not obnoxious.

You tune it out after a while, just like the jets I hear flying out of RDU when the wind is blowing a certain direction.

Car alarms are still annoying, though.
 
There is a module that allows the lower trims WITHOUT smart key entry to beep upon pressing the button ONCE. Two presses will still sound the extremely annoying and loud honk. Once is all you'd need though as it's the same thing and fairly loud. The honk sounds so cheap and outdated. Hate it. There's a few threads on this and I believe a DIY on the install.
 
I must be the special one that only likes the honk upon locking. :dunno:
You're not alone. I like it too. I just wish Honda would put regular sounding horns so it at least sounds good when you lock it :mad:
