alarm locking chirp - time between chirps fluctuates significantly
Has anyone else noticed that the double chirp when locking the car is far from consistent on the cadence /tempo? Call me vain for griping about something so trivial but I expect precision from the engineering resulting in our vehicles.
Before I make an effort to record and analyze this annoyance has anyone else noticed it? I did a cursory search for the issue apologies in advance if it's been discussed.

Key fob or black button on the door handle? I only use the black button. Beep beep, always the same here.

Is your car battery strong?

I have certainly noticed this. Sometimes the chirps are quick and close together, sometimes there's a longer delay between them. In either case, the doors lock and car arms, so I haven't sweat it.
Its annoying, but I'm not sure there's anything you can do about it...

+1 I don't disagree. It's really annoying though of all things that could bother me.
Telling the dealer to fix it will inevitably lead me to being marked as "that guy" by my dealership. At this point I think I'm just going to disable the chirps.

Sometimes it's comforting to know I'm not alone. That's reassuring - and yes it works flawlessly every time from a functional standpoint....silly chirps!

Just like that occasional little wiper movement when you turn the car off. It does whatever it wants to do. Quirky German engineering.
