Theres 2 types of programming on the base radio. Some done with the key turned to something hold down or press something else. And program a few things. One of these things being the way the car acts when the remote is pressed. I know this because my husband changed it for me.

The other type is a very detailed list of things that the dealer can do with the programming thing. I can almost guarantee this is not a free service.

So its best to explore the manual before wasting time at the dealer.

Yeah and im sure its great to have the nav system however I paid $10,000 less than you did. Im willing to read the manual.

Well thats great if you (or your husband)knows the codes/steps. Its probably not in the manual, for I have never seen it. The dealer KNOWS them! sirnewt asked how to do it. If you know than why dont you tell him/her???

Since alot of people go to the dealer every so often for lets say, oil changes, going to the dealer is not a big problem for some... Unless your dealer is an A-hole, then they will be able to make the changes for FREE.

The nav system (MMCS) is awesome! I would of never got the vehicle without it.

So your saying you got your outtie for under 20k??

. Cool, but the MMCS is only a 2k option...

RE: Louder Locking Tone

There is a procedure for the horn deactivation/reactivation "The Answerback Function" on page 3-10 of your 2007 Outlander Owners Manual. I do not think the horn will get any louder using the procedure. I would write (type) them here for all to read, but way too many words for me to type. This procedure is for non-F.A.S.T. key Outlanders I believe.

All-

Thanks for all the info - I guess I need to sit down and really figure out this MMCS thing. I'll go try and change the "beep" to a "honk." (even though change comes from within....or so they say)
