Turn off horn when key leaves the car??

[Tinker]

thats great- where did you hear this info?Don't know about 2016 but there is no option to turn this off on my 2017 Yukon Denali - 2018 is unknown.

I should clarify my earlier comment. I have (had) a 2015 Yukon slt XL. It had no option. I have a 2016 SLT XL and it does have the option. I drove a 2017 Suburban as a rental a few weeks ago and it had the option. Perhaps Denali software is different. Or even different software within model years.

Maybe I'm just not finding the right menu sequence. Where did you find it and what's it called. I'll search again. Thanks.

It's in your radio settings

Wow. The interface looks so much nicer than my 2015!!

Thank you.

I'll let you know if the menus are in my Yukon. I thought though the question was how to turn off the horn alert when you exit the car with the engine running and the key fob is in your pocket. Does this option turn that off? See the first post in this thread.

In regards to the issue from original post where the horn sounds when he exits his vehicle with key in his pocket...is this only with Yukons? I have a 2016 Tahoe LTZ and this hasn't happened to me. However, when I leave my key in the vehicle, then exit and close the door, the horn beeps twice.

On my 2017 Yukon Denali if I exit the car with engine running and key fob in my pocket I get the quick double beep alert. I'm still working on the settings for leaving key fob in the car. BTW I have remote keyless entry option.

Oh, I misunderstood then. The Tahoe doesn't beep if the car is running and keys are in your pocket. Only if you leave the keys in the vehicle while it's running.

Agreed. The honking has two sources.

1. When you leave the vehicle while it is running...with the fob in hand (not in the car). It does not honk on my 2016 XLT XL or 2017 Suburban. It did honk on my 2015 XLT XL and happened on my 2014 Cadillac ATS. I don't remember if there was a setting for this issue, but I will check tonight. I believe the behavior of the car is just changed with no setting to support the change. Again, different GM cars may Implement this on different model years and different software versions may adjust this within a single model year. I do not have a denali to check this.

2. When you leave the car with the engine off and the key fob is left in the car. It will honk depending on the setting. The car may get confused if you have two fobs. One that left the car with you and one that stayed in the car. The screen shots address this concern.

I don't have the triple honk on either of your examples. The very first day I had this car I disabled the alert. In my 2016 XL Denali this is the menu sequence: Settings > Vehicle > Remote Lock, Unlock, Start > Remote Left in Vehicle Alert

Ok. So on my '16 SLT XL, I cannot get the honks when I have the engine running and the fob in my pocket. This is UNLIKE my 2015. I cannot find a setting to turn this on/off so it appears that GM stopped this by software version/model year/some sort of combination of this. (Scenario 1)

I can get it to honk if I leave the fob IN the car when it is not running. (Scenario 2).

My 2017 Suburban will honk if the engine is running and I take the keys out of the truck.
It will also honk if I leave the keys in the truck when the engine is not running.
I haven't had a chance to look at the menus to see if the warnings can be turned off.
