I own a 2022 S Taos 4motion and I’ve been looking at the Aperture Alarm. Has anyone considered getting this? Every VW I had in the past had a car alarm and would sound a chirp when you locked the car door. This Taos does not. I can’t even figure out if there is an alarm in it.

Do you know if this aperture alarm will sound the alarm is someone attempt’s to get into the driver or passengers compartment or is it just for the hood of the car and the trunk. I’m a bit confused by the write up on it.

Double tap the lock on the fob. Car locks and sounds the horn!

I think there is a setting for this as well to turn it on or off. There DEFINITELY is a setting in Carista.

There must be something wrong because mine doesn’t do that. I have the base model. Is there a setting somewhere that I have to change. When I do that the only thing that happens is the parking lights flash.

Where would I find the setting do you know?

Do you have a led in the door top. Front DS near the side mirror.

Yes it’s a red flashing light

This anti-theft alarm system is retrofitted via enabling activation code, no other hardware required. For models equipped with PR code 9V0 only.

you should check your codes from the sticker in the spare wheel well. See if 9V0 is one of them

possible you can enable it via some coding

So does your Taos sound the horn when you double tap the fob?

Try going to settings, opening and closing. There should be a setting for the confirmation sound there. I have not looked, but from recent memory. Same place you choose to open just drivers door or all 4 doors.

Yes I found it under there. It’s a check box that needs to be checked for acoustic confirmation!
Thank you so much everyone for all of your assistance with this!!

Hey ‘Smurf’ thanks for your help. I found the setting to change by the help of one of the other folks so now your tip of double tapping the key fob works. Thanks!

Car alarms aren't really effective deterrents — although I believe the Taos will honk the horn/flash the lights if the door is opened without it being unlocked, built-in passive security like key detection/ignition lock is more effective at actually preventing theft.
