New chime sound when entering the car: what's that?

[artsci]

Since I had my car serviced a few weeks ago I now get a chime kind of sound when I open the door and put my butt in the seat. This is definitely new. Anyone know what this is all about?

No idea, but if it happened in my car I'd assume it was the "go on a diet" alert.

LOL. Is that part of the tech package?

Not for me Weight on target for age and height.

Its more like a bell or whistle than a chime. Strange.

Two beeps?
Your jeans tighter than usual? I've found that you can accidentally activate a button on the keyfob as you're getting in/out which will sound a two-beep alert (IIRC) since the door is ajar.

Aah. That's the last firware mini update. It's a christmas special, will be removed with the first update in 2014. Listen carefully. Jingle bells?

The key fob is always around my neck but maybe my winter jacket is putting pressure on it when the fob is under it. Now that I think about it this started happening when the weather got cold and I started wearing the heavier coat.

Do you have an update to install? I've seen that when an update message is waiting.

No active updates. Cinergi was right. I think it was inadvertent press of the key fob by my heavy coat. When it warmed up today I put on a lighter jacked and there was no such sound on ingress.

I noticed this as well. It happened primarily when wearing tighter jeans (I keep the fob on my key ring in my pocket). One a couple occasions the windows all rolled down and I didn't know why... until I realized the fob was being pressed.

It's the latest hardware upgrade: whoopee cushion.

funny enough, I find that if I leave the fob in my pocket while in my house, I come out to the garage and all the windows have rolled down. I'm not sure how I'm pressing and holding the unlock button, but I imagine it's easier to do with Pete's fob pocket. I'm gald I park in the garage, because to do that with the car outside could invite mischief, animals, and unwanted weather.
