What problems have you experienced with your keyless entry remote?

[Richard Steinfeld]

While I'm all for reducing noise pollution, if the innocuous chirp from
an alarm system is "alarming" to you, I daresay the the problem is you,
not the chirp. If noise is such a problem for you, you should move to a
more remote area where the ambient noise level is lower. All the
complaining in the world is not going to significantly reduce noise
levels in a city. Cities are what they are and no one is obligated to
accommodate you.

It's not innocuous when it's right outside my bedroom, focused by the
alley. Cities can be quiet, too. People should not have to put up with
abuse because they live in a city. Let's say that your neighbor comes
home at 3:00 AM when you're sleeping and lets out a war-whoop locking
the car door. People do that. Or, since you posted about motorcycles,
how about the guy who blasts past your house at 3:00 AM with their
Harley. It's all unwanted noise. In that case, since you are bothered by
loud bikes, that one's your problem, too.

So because YOU screwed up and set of the alarm, the system is "stupid".
I beg to differ. It works just fine and it's silent unless you press the
lock button twice or hit the alarm button. Figuring out the remote is
NOT rocket science.

Uh, Brian, please read my material more carefully before you put me
down. I posted about the bad human engineering of the confirmation
circuitry, which causes people to almost always press the button twice;
and whoop it up because they can't see the confirmation from the first
silent press.

Read the following paragraphs. Again. You quoted them, you know.

So what does that have to do with Hyundai? The Hyundai system doesn't
work that way. If you want to bitch about other cars, there are
appropriate forums to do so. This is not it.

The Hyundai that I rented worked this way.

You hit the panic button ONCE, so it's a bad design? Give me a break!
The panic button is there and readily accessible for good reason.

It is too easy to hit by accident.

Sure, that's a problem with a lot of products. However, just because one
of us doesn't like something, it doesn't mean that it's a poor design or
that most other people aren't happy with it.

It's a thoughtless design that annoys other people. Annoying other
people isn't cool, even if your attitude is "What's wrong with you: get
a life." That's insulting, Bryan. It happens that many people are
disturbed by unneccessary noise pollution. Just like you are with
motorcycles. Hey, Bryan: what's wrong with you? I love the sound of
loud-as-hell motorcycles. I'm going to part outside your house and revv
my motorcycle: Vroom, Vroom, Bryan! Deal with it. Get a life!

What gramatical error are you talking about?

"...would like to here..."

I only use the audible alert to tell me the doors locked. I like it.
I don't really care at all if you don't.

You're making assumptions and touting them as facts. You have no idea
how often people press their remote buttons twice. Judging by your other
responses, once it too much. Intolerance will get you nowhere.

Current Hyundais do not.

It is too easy to hit by accident.

Really? I think I've hit it exactly once in the 15 months I've had the
car and that was in my garage. That's hardly a problem.

It's a thoughtless design that annoys other people.

No, it annoys you. Do you see anyone else here complaining?

If it gets to the point that I can't stand it, I'll do something about
it, even if it means moving. I've already done something about idiot
kids that drive by with their bass booming. The town I live in has noise
abatement ordinances and the police will enforce them when complaints
are filed. That's the way you deal with such things, not by complaining
about them in a forum.

"...would like to here..."

And that's significant?

The Hyundai system IS completely silent, other than the sound of the
locks actuating. It only chirps if you press the lock button twice,
which isn't necessary in order to arm the system. The second press
simply gives an audible confirmation of locking an arming for those who
feel they need it.

BTW, Joe's question was about the remote itself, which has nothing to do
with whether the system is silent or not.

My 2004 Sonata LX doesn't ever chirp even if I push the lock button twice.

Maybe it's broken? Regardless, you should sell it to Richard! ;-)
