If anyone figures out where the double honk resides in the BCM so I can disable it, I will buy you a :beer:

:ontheloo:

This is ALWAYS the first thing I do to my Ford vehicles, I can not stand the double honk. The BCM line form the previous mustangs is not the same on the GT500, unfortunately.

I'm with you 100%. JAJ is the one to talk to about this. So what are you seeing in the BCM that is different?

The short time I played with it, I was looking for the BCM line that the other mustangs have for double honk and it wasn't the same line in our cars. I hope to play more with it on Thursday.

Example.

Car running, fob in your pocket, you open the door, climb out, and shut the door - BEEP BEEP.

With the fob on your possession, and the car still running, it will beep the horn twice when you step out of the vehicle and close the door. Extremely annoying when you are stepping out for any reason, especially early mornings, or late at night. It is designed so prevent you from having the key fob in your pocket, getting out, and someone else driving away without the fob. If they did, and shut it off somewhere, it couldn't be started again.

I say let natural human selection sort this problem out, and not force us all to be annoyed by the honk. Let the less fortunate "no commonsense" people deal with this issue. But we live in a world of "everybody gets a trophy", and commonsense is the least common of all the senses these days.

Its the act of the fob leaving a running car, has nothing ti do with the people. Car could have 4 people in it and if the fob leaves the car while running HONK, HONK

I believe ALL ford vehicles with PTS do this. All of mine have.

I hate the honk as well, Jaime and unfortunately, both my SD and her CT6 do the same darn thing so I'm gonna guess the notion is undustry-wide. VERY annoying and it sure would be nice to stop it.

Kent, you can easily remove the double honk form any Ford using Forscan, we just need time to pass and for people like us to find what line inside the BCM is for the double honk on the GT500. I always remove it, along with a few other changes, like being able to enter navigation while driving. Just did it a few weeks ago on my Raptor, since its basically an F150 the information is already available to us.

The video @Epiphany posted will explain the premise of how to do it.

Rog, Jaime. So I need an OBDII MX adapter along with downloading the ForScan app. Question is, do I need the $10 extended license for the software, (assuming I do)?

Then I can eliminate the double honk on both the '18 SD and '16 CT6, assuming there are mods for both, yes? After that, we just have to wait for someone to figure out which line of code handles the honking on the new car and, what to replace it with. That about right?
