diesel4982 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I have a 2016 limited and I don't know if I did something, but the chirp that would let me know that the car is locked or unlocked stopped working. When I'd come to unlock the door, the car would chirp, when I'd lock the car, the car would chirp, and it suddenly stopped. It was very helpful top have that feature. My car is a keyless entry. I checked the manual, read the forums...can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTransplant Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 In the main menu go to: Settings Vehicle Customization Audible Signal (make sure the box is checked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel4982 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 That doesn't seem to fix it. That audible signal is for the beeps when pressing buttons on the radio screen itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmith Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I wonder why it randomly disabled but I can assure you it can be enabled/disabled by the user. I turned mine off that way. I’ll take a look on mine tomorrow but the previous post seems accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel4982 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 I don't remember doing anything out of the ordinary to turn the feature off. I looked all through the settings menu, I can't figure out how to turn it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works for me, so not sure why it doesn't turn it on/off for you. I pulled this straight from the 2015 Legacy Manual (Chapter 3, Page 47): Keyless Entry System: You can change some of the settings of the remote keyless entry system (all models) and keyless access with pushbutton start system (if equipped). After entering the “Keyless Entry System” menu, select one of the following menus: Audible Signal: The audible signal can be activated or deactivated. Select “On” to activate. Select “Off” to deactivate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I recall seeing a reflash for chirp issues, BIU or similar if I recall. Check the April 2018 PDF and I think you'll see ot listed in the change log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel4982 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 I checked that menu setting and it's set to on. I was looking up some videos and they said to hold down the unlock button and a bunch of other procedures that didn't make sense to be honest, but whatever I did brought back the chirp, but now it's lower sounding than what it was before, almost inaudible, Is there a way to increase its volume..the volume of the chirp? It was definitely higher before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perscitus Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 https://techinfo.subaru.com/stis/#/special_tool Looks like the BIU update was for 2016 WRX and WRX STI only but does mention: To add Keyless Buzzer Vol. Adjustment (Release month: October 2015) So perhaps its not a coincidence you're seeing something similar on a 2016 Legacy. Maybe a BIU update is in order for it as well, Subaru just hasn't acknowledged, worked on or rolled one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perscitus Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 This one is wide open - follow the link - scroll down - open PDF. Only ECU/TCU reflashes for your 2016. Nothing for the BIU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tumbleweed 49 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Sometimes when computers are not working correctly a reboot helps. If it were me I would disconnect one of the battery leads, let it set for a few minutes to discharge the capacitors, then hook it up again. You may have to reset a few options such as radio presets, etc. Also when it is unhooked I would give it a good visual inspection and make sure there is no corrosion on either of the terminals.

diesel4982 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Can anyone assist in this issue? Why would the chirp just disappear. The head unit settings are correct, BIU was checked at dealer and they said that's good also. I'm at a loss here and would love to have that chirp back.

Jdog81 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 chirp will not happen unless vehicle sees all the doors are fully shut and hood and trunk is shut. make sure all your pin switches work properly. biu could not be seeing a door or trunk is not closed even though it is.

diesel4982 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 It turns out the biu is bad, not receiving the correct voltage for some reason. I'm waiting for the part to be ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
