I went out for lunch and the chimes for the proximity sensors when parking were different on my way out than my way back... no OTA was installed in between

Anyone else notice this?

If it sounded like a 1980’s video game then it’s a well known phenomenon. Sometimes when the 12v battery SOC is low the sounds will come from the IPC (small driver’s screen) instead of the normal speakers. It happens and is not a problem.

you're right that is what happened. when i started up it did say "system powered down to save power" or whatever so that must be it.
