Do you guys with no beeps have alarms? I don't know if this matters or not, but it might.

Never had my car beep when locking. The i-drive menu only gives an option for visual which is a flash of the indicators (turn signals), never seen an option for a beep.

I have an Alarm - but no acoustic confirmation.

I am beginning to think it is a Regional thing (Not in EU but in USA)

No beeps here either, lucklily

Just blinks from the turn signal lights.
I actually don't get blinks from the turn signals either. No indication. So, both the visual and audio indicators don't work when locking. I would be fine with just the lights flashing - but not having either is a real bother.

Hi, Rob

I just dropped off my car for the eye brow issue to be fixed today, and other services, so i'll check on that when i pick up the car and keep you posted.
Great, I appreciate it.

It's starting to sound as if this is something specific to my car.

In past discussions about this, it was determined that some countries don't have the beep as an available choice.

Rob - I had the same situation that you experienced. Upgraded to 24.01 and it didn't work. Installed 24.00 and eyebrows work. My car beeps and lights blink to confirm open and close. This service was performed in California. So that takes out the question regarding Europe versus US.

I recently had my car upgraded to CIP 24.01 to fix a host of issues. When I noticed the "eyebrows" no longer worked, they changed the car to CIP 24. That fixed the eyebrow issue, but left me with this one:

When I lock the car, I no longer get a "beep." I still have the beep when I unlock, just not when I lock. (this issue was also present in 24.01)

The dealer has no idea about this one and told me to call them in a month or so to see if there is a fix.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Any idea if this is fixed in a later rev of the software?

I have left my car unlocked a couple times because occassionally the lock button doesn't actually work. Without the beep I'm never sure if I've really locked the car or not.

Thanks
My '07 550i came with CIP 24.0 installed and I have the "beep" when I lock the car. I think it has to do with your car - possibly going to 24.01 and then back to 24.0.
