Hello, thank you for writing in. There are different settings for each manufacturer, and you may need to hold the unlock and lock button down a little longer on your vehicle. However, if you are pressing the locking buttons twice, that is your problem. The first press will lock and alarm the doors silently. It is when you press the button twice that you ask the vehicle for an audible confirmation that it is locked. If you believe there is an issue with the horn, locks, or alarm, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.
