Is your truck making new dings and gong sounds?

I hadn't driven the truck a few weeks but tonight its making different dings and gong sounds for parking sensors and general tones. Did I miss this in an earlier update? They aren't significantly different, but different. Kinda preferred the old sounds.

Probably a low state of charge on your 12v battery. The sounds are different when the battery is low.

The sound is coming from your Instrument Cluster instead of the Speakers. A couple various things, including low battery can change this. It usually goes back to speakers eventually (at least it does for me) on the next drive.

There is actually a setting you can change in Forscan to force it to remain with the IPC's speaker.

My truck just started doing the same thing. I thought I remembered it might have something to do with the 12 volt battery. Wonder if the Walkaway Locks update is taxing the 12 volt battery a bit more than it was previously.
