What are the two beeps for shortly after starting my ride?

I have noticed recently that about 30 seconds after starting the car and driving I am getting two quick beeps from the sync system but no visual notifications appear anywhere. Anyone have any idea of what this is?

Are you driving near a school when this happens? It took me forever to figure out that I could disable the school zone warning in my car…

there are a bunch of alerts that can be toggled on in the navigation system.


it could also be suggesting a destination in the nav system.

I believe that beeping is an indication that car has identified a pattern in your time of day / day of week destination and pops a suggestion to the screen to ask if that's where you're currently going.

I think there is like a "Go" option and it will then enter the destination into the nav and give you turn-by-turn to get there.

On my way home, it always suggests my neighbors address, but when I get here, the "charging location" is correct to my address.

Nope, not the school zone warning. I have noticed that one, but it also gives a short visual alert on the screen letting you know why.

This may be a possibility because I tend to notice it more in the morning when I take the kids to school. But I don't see any type of visual change in the screen, such as the "OK" button like you describe.

Hmm, I don't remember because I don't acknowledge the suggested destination very often. You might have to have the Sync Map open already, and if CarPlay is connected or anything else on the screen it won't show the suggestion.

It’s MachE attempting to guess where you’re going and alerting traffic. Sometimes the UI isn’t fully initialized and so you don’t see the destination appear. At least that’s my experience.

Then this is likely what it is. I always have Carplay enabled, so it just doesn't display the notification.

Yup. This is it. I ended-up turning off the notification for suggested locations because it would freak me out.

going off topic for a sec (shocking, I know)...

there's an very interesting UI point hiding here. If someone is using CarPlay / Android Auto, do they expect certain things to "override" that? how would what's valid to "override" be chosen? It would be a slippery slope probably like mobile app notifications today (which are generally a giant cf)... maybe the notification should appear in the dash panel notification area (left-ish, where the nav directions etc. appear)?

never thought about that before.

anyway, back to your topic :)

So, I dont think its the pattern, I was in the car at lunch today (which is rare), picking up a prescription. Sitting in "park", with the parking brake engaged, waiting, got the 2 dings... nothing on either screen.

Nobody said the pattern was good at its job. :D
