Where's my goodbye song?!

[sethsquire]

For some reason, between yesterday and today, my G70 stopped doing its little goodbye song when I turn the car off. Instead, I'm just getting a couple of lame dings.

I looked through the settings and I saw "Welcome Sound" which is on, and it's not giving me that either. I tried turning it off and on, but still no goodbye song.

Am I missing something here?

The band broke up.

Maybe that’s your problem. Why is it dinging?

 

[Mr. Incredible]

if the windows, door, or sunroof are open you get the ding and not the tune. .

if the battery in your key fob is low (found this out today) you get that alert when you turn off the car instead of the tune.

I thought that perhaps it was because something was open, or the lights were on, or something to that effect, but I checked everywhere and everything seemed fine. Maybe I should look in the LCD when I turn the car off and see if it gives me some kind of message.

I figure I could also try disconnecting the battery, but then I would lose my radio presets, have to reconnect my phone, etc.

I wouldn't think the fob battery would be low. The car is all of 3 weeks old, but I could do a test with my other fob and see if it's the same.

All in all, I believe this might be the dumbest problem in the history of car-dom.

Edit: Also it's not a consistent dinging; it's just a couple of dings.

I FIGURED IT OUT!

It turns out that my rear window was open a fraction of an inch, as evidenced by a diagram of the car flashing ever so-briefly in the LCD when I turned it off. I closed the window, fired it up, turned it off again, and it serenaded me with those sweet tunez.

I guess this thread no longer has any purpose, but it shall serve as a monument to my dumbass-ery.

On the contrary. This is something that could happen to anybody and this thread will show the fix.

Glad the band is back together!! Wonder if Phil Collins will make a quick cameo.

Dude, yesterday We Can't Dance came on the radio, and I realized I was listening to Genesis... in my GENESIS!

Yup. Had it happen to me that way more than once, kid in the rear seat doesn’t close the window all the way. I like that the genesis alerts you. I’ve owned vehicles that didn’t and low and behold it rained that night and the window was cracked enough to allow water into the car.

Don't worry, if you can't get enough K-pop from your car's welcome/goodbye tunes, then just know that Conan has you covered...
