2014 520D F10 Alarm Question

Hi
Had my F10 just over a week and the other day I locked it and one of the back doors was still wide open (pitch black and my youngsters error). Did not find out until the next day. On my other car it would beep if you tried to lock it with a door open but this car doesn't.

To confirm locked, indicators blink and lights go out, if I try and lock it with a door open the indicators don't blink and the lights go out. So there is a difference, however, if you do accidentally leave a door open and because you hear the 3 doors that are shut lock and the lights go out it is easy to get this wrong especially if you are walking away from the car when you lock it.

Is it possible to set an audible notification or are there no other options to set other than what I have?

thanks

I always check my red alarm light under the mirror as I leave the car.
When it is blinking normally, you know the car is secured and locked. When it's blinking rapidly (I seem to recall), there's one or more doors/boot not closed correctly.

BTW, when you press the lock button twice upon locking your vehicle, you set the alarm for the doors, but not the interior and motion detected alarm. (For example when you leave a dog for 5 mins in the car or something).

You really should read your manual. The 2014 manual on page 41 (I believe) gives the instructions.
Under the 'settings', you can set the 'acoustic sig. lock/unlock' as well as the light flash.
On my 2012, the acoustic beep will not sound if anything is not properly closed, from doors to hood to trunk. Once rectified the beep will sound. That should solve your problem.
