Wondering if there is a way to stop the horn from honking when locking the door with the key. Kind of embarassing when you are late for church. Everyone knows then!

Any tricks?

 

I believe it is in the manual. You will need a SXT or RT, as I belive the SE cannotbe changed. If you have an RT, might be in EVIC. If you have SXT, I believe you need to doa combination of key fob and door lock buttons.

 

If its a R/T it is accessable via the EVIC. Hold down the music and compass buttons for a few seconds then scroll the menu.

 

Sorry for not getting back for such a long time, but we don't have the buttons on the wheel and the fancy computer on the speedo. It is a RT with premium stereo, but not all the other fancy stuff. So you say there is a way to do it stated in the owners manual? Pardon my ignorance, but what is the EVIC?

Thanks!

 

It's the fancy speedo display with the additional display info and steering wheel buttons.
It stands for "Electronic Vehicle Information Center".

 

from your owner's manual:

To lock the doors:

Press and release the LOCK button on the transmitter to

lock all doors. The turn signal lights will flash once to

acknowledge the lock signal. The horn will chirp once to

acknowledge the signal. If desired, the

these steps.

1. Press the LOCK button for 4 to 10 seconds.

2. While the LOCK button is pressed (after 4 seconds),

press the PANIC button. Release both buttons.

Awesome, thank you!

My wife finally let me drive her car today. Not very often do I get to drive the Magnum. I really do like this car!

 

it works on the SE as well follow same directins as SXT

 

I have tried to set-up the locks on my SXT to unlock all doors (even the hatch) when ignition is turned off, no success yet even though I have followed the manual instructions.
I also have not had success with stopping the doors from locking after 15 miles per hour is reached.
Has anyone had success at achieving these changes?
Thanks
Jim
