Camping mode door bleep

[Rams66]

In camping mode on my T6.1 the front doors make a bleep if opened but not always. The dog hates it! Any idea on how to turn that off or adjust? Thanks

Buy a Carista for 25 shiny British pounds from Amazon. You can turn all sorts of things on and off, have a search for “carista” on this forum for more info

I noticed the same during our ongoing trip. The dashboard then displays ‘Put gearlever in P’ or something similar. Doesn’t make sense, and did not have this last summer…

Oh oh oh! Not just me then?? Had put it down to a camping mode quirk that was unique to ours. I can live with it, but so good to know ours isn't faulty. I love this forum.

Is your key in the ignition when this happens? If so that"s probably the issue.

Same here on a new Ocean. When in camping mode, opening any door produce a loud BEEP. Same beep you get when you open a door with the ignition on except that it’s a single beep instead of a repeated one. What I noticed:

- each door does the beep only once per camping session. If you close the door and open it again, it won’t beep anymore (until the next time you switch on camping mode after having driven the van)
- it’s not just the front doors triggering the beep - it’s all of them.
- this doesn’t alway happen. Sometimes the doors don’t beep at all. It happens often though.
- it’s not related to the key being in the ignition (it’s not) or to the gearbox lever being incorrect (it’s in P)

Congrats, 1 post off your 1,000th !!! Care to reply

I don’t think we’ve experienced this yet, BUT we did download a software update 2 weeks ago, so maybe next trip!

As others comment, use Carista to silence the side door bleeping. So far we’ve determined, while possible to do, it’s not so desirable to silence driver / passenger door open bleep, as we might need that reminder someday !

All doors beep on mine. Drives me nuts. Not helpful when you go for a night time visit and it wakes the granddaughter up.

Is it this? (It’s with us in Dutch but it says: “leave the vehicle only in position P. Find a workshop.”)

We received this message on the screen on Sunday when we stopped on our way back from a VW meeting. Just like that -we were not in camping mode- apparently for no reason because the gear lever was in 'P'.

Everything still worked but beeping when opening a door. The car could be started and we could leave and the screen gave the normal chosen info again but still the small orange light that disappeared a little later.
So we now had this once in 3.5 months and over 9,000 km. Maybe a software bug at the moment but I'll keep an eye on it and report it to the dealer.

It doesn’t mention “find a workplace” with us, though. I’m surprised so many of us have this issue. It’s just 1 single beep, luckily, so it doesn’t continue beeping untl door is shut again.

These vans are getting too complicated to the extent we seem/need to be on the constant lookout for items that seem to be/are malfunctioning rather than simply enjoying our holidays. Just a feeling I have.

I have just spent 5 weeks living in the van everyday. I have Carista and the "original" beep was disabled. However, even with "Camping mode" activated, I also received random beeps when opening the driver/passenger doors and also the completely new "parking" warning.

And the car manufacturers think we are going to use autonomous cars when they can't resolve simple things like this

so I got a more severe warning
And if I remember correctly, it was indeed one single beep, rather loud and long.

We only get the single beep and the "Move gear selector to Park Position" msg very briefly. Blink and you would miss it. Only activated with the front doors and not the sliding door, or the boot. For us, more often that not when camping mode is enabled (Mainly to eliminate the courtesy delay causing confusion with the interior lighting) the front seats are already rotated, so rarely open the front doors at that stage. Probably only to make popping the door blinds on that little easier.
When it first happened I was frantically googling and could only find other VAG vehicle forums suggesting that I needed some replacement gear shift sensor or something else that paranoia was happy to run with.
So I can live with the single beep and am now more than happy that it's not an fault individual to my van, rather a more generic coding error. So I appreciate you posting. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. I will try and fix for the sake of the dog. Will try opening once and see if that stops it happening again as Mehdime suggested. Cheers

Are you experiencing the same as this guy? If so as said earlier, the fix is to get a Carista:

 

[Rams66]

I’ll check that out thanks. On our way back through France so tried an easy fix for tonight.

In Will's YT vid he is talking about the "ignition key" warning. That is something different to the "Move Gear selector to P" warning which is accompanied by a single bing and only when in camping mode.
I fear the thread has drifted a little and I do wonder if anyone buying Carista to fix this software bug that seems to be on both Oceans & Coasts might not find what they are looking for in the way of a fix.

Error also occurs on Beach… but strangely only since recently, so probably related to some over the air software VW pushed to our vehicles. Only noticed this since a few weeks, last year we used camping mode a lot as well and did not get this error…

Got to love a software fix that adds more issues eh?

Ok, so no one has the message like in the photo of post #10? Just to be clear: with us it was during a ride and not at all in camping mode. Apparently it's something else. Anyway, today we drove our 3.5-month-old Coast to the dealer and asked someone to come with us for a ride and witness the creaking at the bottom right of the windscreen. They’ll try to figure it out. First try to solve it didn't work but I have to stay hopeful and look forward to when the annoyingly nasty crackling is fixed and over.
Then glue the top trim of the bellows (maybe I’ll do that myself) and than see if the ‘error message’ like in my picture comes back And I consider myself lucky that I don't have more problems.
It's good that traveling with it still gives us so much satisfaction, because that's what we do it for. I look forward to have a more or less crack-free and bug-free everyday mode of transport… our cali

Agree. They’re two separate things. I don’t believe that the single beep will be solved with Carista.

No, indeed, not the dame issue according to me… good luck with getting this sorted!!
