Depending on which map I have selected, I get a dong when approaching a school zone.
...... So many comments. :crackup: Joking, of course.

I get a “click” sound every drive as the doors auto lock. About 30 seconds after driving. Probably a setting. If there is a dong alert for that - I would have turned it off.
Mav is my First vehicle with the "Auto-Lock" feature.. I looked it up.

Doors will lock, at reaching 12 mph..
IT Also, LOCKS! when you leave the vehicle, door closed and running.. Was reminded of this, this morning... :oops:
Good Thing, that I have the habit of leaving the driver's window down... :cool:

Yes, a “dong” sound, not a “ding” and it’s just once everytime I start one and always just a few minutes of driving.
It's Bell Physics.

Whether a little bell or a great church bell, it can only Ding once until reset by a Dong.
😜

It beats the old Chrysler version, though.

I had the whole car unlocked and the engine running while loading into the back. In a blizzard.

I closed the tailgate, and it responded by locking every single door.

We had to wait for Enterprise to come by with another key!

I think you just flashed the Glen Baker, LLC signal.

Are you plugging in your phone to the USB? Sometimes they will take a minute to connect and then it's "Bong" time. Oh wait, DONG not bong! I think Cheech or Chong were doing the bong thing?
Hahahahaha
I’m gonna get my old Apogee out today. :XD

THIS Is the Way !

Pack that sucka with ice and schnapps,
Put the six shooter Gatling bowl on it,
Awww man that’s nice.
Memories,
:’P

23 of us, the crew graduated high school in 1976.
Only three lived past 50,
I’m the last one.
All the others are waiting for me to take my place among them,
In the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave shall live forever.

Hahahaha

Ya, the weird Chinese guy in Mike's bedroom!:crackup:
Actually Japanese Actor but was he playing Chinese?
Jamie Clarke, writing about the films of John Hughes in 2007, described Long Duk Dong as defying stereotypes, noting that "uberdork Long Duk Dong proves himself to be a party animal" and "by the night's end, the school's entire social strata will have turned upside down" with Samantha, the freshman geek, and also foreign exchange student Long Duk Dong finding romantic and social success.[15]

Gedde Watanabe, reflecting on his portrayal in 2024, said that he did not initially perceive the role as offensive, attributing his perspective to the scarcity of roles for Asian actors at the time. While he acknowledged some problematic elements of the character, he emphasized the role's impact in sparking ongoing conversations about Asian representation in media and appreciated the evolving opportunities for more nuanced portrayals of Asian characters in Hollywood.[

Could it be the doors automatically locking at 12 mph?
