BCM update turns car into 2005 Escort.

[glenng6]

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-

Thanks for that! I had no idea that was supposed to be a heartbeat or galloping horse. Now that I know that, I can wholeheartedly state that I don't think it sounds like either one! YMMV! Glenn

So is it like before you hit the starter button, when you first sit down?

Is this related to recall # 25C43/25V546?

Mine now does a "beep" when starting, and every time I was checking for a "warning" on the display to see what it's trying to "tell" me... now I've figured that it was the former HB.

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?

Ok, mine does at least a little bit of that. Sorry, I guess I tuned it out after a while in my head.

No heartbeat for you as well?

No more (it did in the past), but I don't know when it happened (as I didn't paid attention), nor I remember when it was playing.
I will test later today... when it is supposed to be played exactly? At the start? When the dashboard starts?

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 ?

Ford never made a 2005 Escort for the US domestic market.

For me it started doing this when I opened the door and when I see the horse on the main screen with this orange flares going. But others say it does that when you press the start button. But I don't remember exactly since I lost this sound for over 6 months now.

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.

Im glad the heartbeat is back. I love the Tum tum tum..... TUM TUM TUM....

I hear it if I open the door with the car running.

Paid attention today and confirmed it is there.

I am trying to get my seatbelt on, set my podcast to start, maybe also hook up Waze, lol . . . and just forgot about it or do not notice the distraction.
