We just purchased a 2010 V6 Automatic, The horn chirps once when you lock the car from the remote & twice when u unlock. I thought you had to press the lock button twice before the audible chirp happened, but not the case here. Also after turning off the ignition and opening the door the horn chirps twice. If you shut off the car open the door & hit the p0wer lock on the door it chirps once, after closing the door it chirps 9 yes 9 times. I have searched for a way to change the settings & have not been successful. Any help would be appreciated, it is a little annoying

If it's chirping 9 times, I think that means that there is still an active key-fob inside of the car.

Not a mustang, but my wife has a 4Runner. It started doing that one day. Was driving use crazy. Turned out there was a key fob in the car. Removed it and it stopped doing the extended chirping thing. As for the other issue I've got nothing.

That would be awesome to find the missing fob in the car! Saves you some money getting a new one made. If you want a spare.

A lot of cars have a holder for them that allows the thing to operate even if the internal battery is dead.

Many times, these holders are located under the arm-rest cover or dash on the Driver side.
