So had the BCM update on our 24 that addresses the A.S.S. I believe.

Got into car , and EVERY sound changed. It lost the cool Heartbeat thump and now makes an annoying beeping like a cheap Ford escort from 2005.

I am kinda pissed off right now. I HATE the sounds that regular Fords always make , and now they ruined our Mustang with them.

So for those of you who never hear the cool thump thump .. thump thump noise anymore , this is why.

Do others still hear the Heartbeat noise still ?

Ok , So I drove it around and made a couple stops. It did the beeping everytime.

After I got home , backed into garage. I shut it off (maybe 4th key cycle)

For fun , I tried starting it once more before I hopped in my truck and go back to work.

Guess what , Heartbeat is back. lol.

So , I guess lesson here is it may have been updating in the background, and once it finished our Mustang found its personality again...

phew ! It sounded retarded.

It's funny, because some here have posted that they hate the heartbeat and want to get ride of it.

My update did not change anything.

I lost the heartbeat sound since February and it never came back.
Dang , maybe you need to have it flashed again or its a location thing... ?

If they heard what I heard for a few start ups , they would change their minds quickly I think. It was the older Ford models annoying noises. Terrible.

Personally, I want to get rid of the heartbeat/horse gallop b/c I think it might affect my subs. I'll know tomorrow when I get the car back.

I don't even know how to do that.
After I changed my side mirrors, the car lost the heartbeat sound and I really miss it.

I don't think my Dark Horse does any of that stuff.

I was sitting here wondering what everybody was talking about heart beat Escort, horse, what?
It's like a chime that plays when you first get in the car. It's supposed to be a gallop I think.

Not sure what going on with this guys car that he has two versions. Its supposed to sound like the 2nd one in this clip-
