Default Even dealership hasn't seen this one

So I have lost any stealth ability to get the S out of the garage for a fun spin .

When I put my key in and turn it to the start ready position the horn does a quick double beep. Before I actually hit the start button, just the key in and turned on.

The Honda dealer was stumped. Anyone come across this before?

If you have an aftermarket alarm, I would check that first.

Can they reflash your ECU?

I guess. I assume that will return it to all the original factory settings?

That's my theory. If it's not a wiring it's got to be a computer issue. With computers I start from scratch to fix.

Might not be the best answer but on a brand new car you shouldn't have gremlins.

Hahahaha!

Sorry I know I'm not helping at all, but for some reason this made me chuckle.

Your car is kinda like the road runner. "meep meep" before it takes off

That is what I am going to tell the service guy Monday. I have a problem-there seems to be a case of Roadrunner with my car.
