What about the “bong bong, bong bong, bong bong” when you turn the open the door before you turn the car off? Is there a way to eliminate that?
When I cut my grass today, I moved my car across the street. The first thing I did when I opened the door was buckled passenger seat buckled my seat got in started. I didn’t hear one sound and I think you can get away with no sound. Just the passenger seat belts buckle.

I believe that usually means you need to turn the lights off and back to auto. There is a bug that can only be fixed with getting the headlights switch replaced.

I find the Mach e alerts as useful as communicating with my son's cat.

It looks at me and meows, fully expecting me to know what it means.

I don't have a clue what it means.

I can only hope for an OTA to upgrade the alerts to dog language. That I understand.

I think I have to fiddle with this a bit.
Ford Mustang Mach-E I figured out the random ding dong IMG_6496

I'd LOVE to know what the idea was behind this ding ding I didn't get

I think the title could be interpreted a couple different ways! ;)
A rando ding dong is quite different, and I’m getting too old for that kind of thing ?

If you listen closely, you'll hear the guitar strum startup chords. You may need to turn off the AC and radio as it's rather quiet.

So, much like my (replaced by an LG) stupid Samsung dryer, that no matter the 'notification setting' it would ding out it's stupid little happy tune, just much much quieter. It had actually brought me great rage at one point. It's silly little 20 second long song, when turned 'off' sounded like it was being smothered by a pillow to it's death. Very fitting for a dryer that wasn't doing a good job at the only job it had.

Skip Towne, of all the 1000’s of postings I’ve read in this forum this may be the cleverest and most amusing. Well done.

What about the FunkyTown rendition every time I hit the close button on the hatch?

I enjoyed all the onomatopoeias in this thread:

"ding dong" OP

"bong bong" @Ravensfan1996

and my personal favorite, "boodaloop!" @Jerrytball

I do have some questions about " whah chicka chicka whah whah " though... @the golden eel
