Car Lock Sound Suggestions?

[TypeX]

Can you have multiple wav files on the flash drive or are you limited to one only?

Limited to one for the lock chime. There are mulitples preloaded to the car but one custom
One.

Any clever ideas for lock sounds?

I think I'll go with a voice saying "Locked!"

I thought of this too the other day. TOS door swoosh, not any of the others...

Do we have to unplug the sentry USB and use the USB with the wav file in it? Can I unplug that USB and stick the sentry USB back in?

would it be inappropriate to use the Tweet sound from old Twitter?

Unplug the sentry USB drive, copy the lock chime wav file to it, reconnect the drive, then go to the Toy Box to select "USB" as the lock sound.

Note: It'd be smart if the car had a "safely eject USB" feature. Short of that, be sure Sentry mode and Dash Cam are inactive when you remove the drive.

Update: According to the following post, you can temporarily insert a USB drive containing the lock chime, select that chime (loading it into the car's memory), then switch back to your previous USB drive:

It does. Press and hold the Dashcam icon in Controls. This will set the dashcam to paused mode. From the manual, in the Dashcam section:

RECORDING: Dashcam is recording. To save video footage, touch the icon. To pause recording, press and hold the icon.

PAUSED: Dashcam is paused. To resume recording, touch the icon. To avoid losing video footage, pause Dashcam before removing the flash drive.

Ah. I forgot about that hidden long-press.

Still, it doesn't say it'll stop all USB activity.

Still, it doesn't say it'll stop all USB activity.

But it does say: To avoid losing video footage, pause Dashcam before removing the flash drive. I can't think of anything other than Dashcam video that's written to the drive, so pausing it should stop all USB write activity, and pulling during reading shouldn't cause any damage.

Yes. So as far as we know that feature suffices if people find it and also can't think of anything else that the car writes to any USB partition. (Sentry cam??) It's a UI problem.

I tried searching the manual for USB, eject, and such.

I did a star trek themed one as my car is called the "Delta Flyer" lol

Mine goes with my license plate. Although I edited the sound file to make it as loud as I could without distortion it's pretty quiet coming from the car. The lock sounds from Tesla seem much louder. Are there multiple speakers that those use that mine doesn't?

 

[Big Earl]

How about the old ICQ incoming message sound? I’m dating myself, I know. How many of you have never heard this?

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

Right now im just using the duck quack sound. Not clever but im thinking of using a quote from this video. The staff where I work are delicate flowers so I know they will complain. I already have the audio file because I was trying to use it for the horn, lol. I think in the end im just going to use the windows shutdown sound.
