Horn no longer sounds when I walk away.

[UncD62]

Horn no longer sounds when I walk away. Setting is On, but still no sound. And, no more "night ponies", yet that setting is On as well. Started about 4 to 6 weeks ago and I do believe it was after a software update but I can't confirm it.
Any ideas on how to get these features to work again? Thanks in advance.

Go to settings and make sure they are still enabled. They sometimes get toggled after an update. If they are on, try turning them off and back on.

Is it not locking, or is only the honk missing?

Both of the above. Toggle the settings to off if they’re on.l, pause for a bit, then turn them back on. It’s a not uncommon glitch upon occasion.

You must be the only one missing that honk

I had a similar problem a while back with the mirrors not folding when the car locked. The folding setting was on. I just had to turn it off … then back on again and they started working.

Every so often something will wedge hard enough that I “reboot the car” (deprive 12v power for a few minutes). I hate to do this and it’s only used as a last resort. If you do it, it will be a good 20 minutes before all the various modules are back online and even then you’ll probably get some error messages because some module wasn’t quite ready.

Update: I have tried the "turn off, then back on" attempt for both horn & night ponies. Neither worked. I don't know if I left them off long enough though. I'll try again later.
And, I don't know if it is actually locking the doors or not; That's a good question. Since I don't hear the honk, I assume it hasn't locked the doors and I pull my fob out and click Lock twice and it will honk. I've never actually walked back and checked the doors though. I probably need a 2nd person to assist me, I'm thinking...

So no PAAK?

I ask because I get notification confirmation for the doors locking.

I can't say that I've ever seen that type of Notice, maybe I've got that turned off. I'm using an Android, Pixel 9.

Look inside at passenger internal lock buttons from driver's window, light will be on lock selection...

Here’s my related story. A few months ago, I decided it was time to use PAAK. As a safeguard, I hid a fob in a faraday bag in the car. About 2 months later, my car stopped locking on walk away.
It turns out, the car was detecting the fob even though it was bagged. I tested several times removing then replacing it in the car. 100% repeatable. I now have the fob double-bagged and all is well again.

Why it worked initially and then stopped, I have no idea.

SOLVED: See my post regarding "key battery low replace" error message.... Oh, okay... Basically, it was due to our 2nd fob being lost inside the car and that suppressed the horn honk feature, I guess. Argh
