Turned on ‘beep on lock’ using carista about 2 months ago.
Used the car in the morning, beep worked fine. Came back to the car in the evening, no beep then and no beep since.
Anyone had issues with this before? Not sure where to locate where the beep is coming from either if anyone can point me in the right direction before I book it in to get looked at or try ordering any parts.
Carista trial has run out now so will also try resetting on there but thought I’d ask here as I wasn’t expecting an issue with it!
Thanks in advance.

Re: Beep on lock stopped working?
I think the "beep" comes from the alarm siren which is located inside the driver's side wing behind the plastic cover. For security, the siren is riveted in place so if you have to replace the rivets need drilled out.
Just in case the "beep" comes from the horn, double check your horn is working. The horn is located low down behind the front bumper.
It's not unknown for some modules to lose there coding for no apparant reason so it might just need to be coded again.

Ok, so I re-downloaded carista & it came up with an error 00134 Alarm horn (H12) so it must be faulty or broken somehow.
Hoping for a relatively easy/cheap eBay replacement, although the little research I’ve done suggests I might be in for a lengthy, expensive fix

Anyone else had any recent experience with this, or how easy it is to locate the parts?
