Alarm Chirp Volume

Kowboi · 06-04-2013, 11:32 PM

Is there a way to increase the volume of the "chirp" or audible factory alam sounds on a 2012 335i?

ERIK430i · 06-05-2013, 12:31 AM

I had a 2010 E90 LCI that I increased the chirp volume thru coding in the DWAS module under BUZZER_HIGH_LEVEL. I just ordered a cable for the F30 so I'll be seeing if I can do this on my F30. I'd like my chirp a little louder.

Did you get your new cable yet? I hope your able to code the volume a bit louder.

Finally, someone else has this problem! The stupid responses I got are, "are you sure you have an alarm?"
The chirp volume is wayyyy too low for outdoor environments. I am also starting to experience (intermittently) the alarm delaying sounding the chirp by a few seconds.

Hi,
Try : FZD > ALARM TYPE > US
It has different sound than ECC and more loud.
I did change : buzzer_high_level > 10
buzzer_low_level > 7
Worked for me.
But if just change buzzer level in ECC, nothing will change.

Did it work? I thought this was a lost cause. Dealer stated that volume could not be changed and that it is "normal." BS! Actually, lately it has seem totally muted intermittently.

Yes it worked.

sorry to bump an old ass thread but wondering if this is actually possible on the F30s. the post above said it worked but I can't seem to find anything in the sections mentioned

EDIT: the buzzer_high and _low_level coding worked for me

In my case, FINALLY the dealer detected a short and then fixed it. Alarm chirp volume now it useable. (They did not mention adjusting the programming, though.)

I guess buzzer hi is when alarm goes off and buzzer low is when locking?

Jhnblckwood · 02-26-2018, 02:47 PM

Was jus playing with it. If default is hi 3 n low 2, if u change it to hi 10 shouldn’t u make low 9?

bimmer456 · 02-26-2018, 02:49 PM

Will need to add this to the lists of features I need coded.

Jhnblckwood · 02-26-2018, 03:04 PM

Def recommend but been looking thru both cafd files n I’m certain there has to b a way to make motion sensors more sensitive. I see folders for x n y axis but I’m not confident enough to go changing things I kno nothing about lol

Not sure on either of those. I did this a while ago, but I believe I just made them the same level. Haven't had any issues.

I set to 10 n 9 sounds good. Thank you tho
