My Tiguan 2019 beeps when its locked all day. Initially I thought it beep because of security and I was standing too close to it, but with no one in the garage, it beeps all day. I also thought because I didn’t drive it much the battery was low so I took it out and the beep is still there.
I like to add that there are no warning lights on the dash.

Never heard of this fault before.

You say you took it out, do you mean for a drive or left it outside the garage and it still beeps?

You may have to take it back to the dealer and ask them to plug it into the diagnostics.

Keep us updated.

I can't find anything online about it either. I took it out for a drive (30min). No beeps when I drive but just when it's parked. I will probably take it to the dealer next week to see the reason.

So this is a beeping sound clearly audible from outside the car rather than one of the many warning beeps that sound from the dash when driving?

Is it just the one beep about 30 seconds after the car has been locked, or does it keep on beeping?
if it’s the single beep after the 30 seconds is it a confirmation beep to notify you that the car is locked and the alarm armed?

I only hear it when it’s parked. Nothing when I’m driving.

It keeps on beeping, about a couple minutes from each other. It keeps going all night when it’s in the garage.

I wonder if somehow it’s connected in some way with the alarm. Does it still ‘beep’ if the alarm is not on?

Is it a warning that a door or something is not fully shut or sticky contact, open and close all doors, tailgate and bonnet and try again.

You'd see that by the graphics on the dash if you look through the window. However I can't think of any warning like that, it doesn't normally warn of doors etc open without the ignition on. Nor can I place that beep noise.

You say when locked, so it doesn't happen if left unlocked? You can disable the alarm internal sensors, click the lock button a second time. It'll disable the internal sensors and un-deadlock the doors. Doing this might give a clue if it changes the symptom.

It probably feels unloved being left all alone in the garage all night.........

 

[Blackstar]

Do you use the We Connect app? If so does that indicate any doors or windows etc being sensed as open?

If a door is not fully shut it would not allow you to lock car and you do not get the indicators flash.

 

[Tricky]

Front doors yes, rear doors no, you can lock the car with the rear doors open, but you're right you only get the confirmation flash (and deadlock) if all doors are fully closed.

UPDATE: the dealer said it was nothing to worry about, but did not tell me why it beeps. So I guess I just have to live with a beeping car.

I don't use the app but all the doors and windows are fully closed.

I should clear out the garage and park the other car right next to it then

It happens when it's locked. If I unlock the doors, the front lights come one and the side mirror swivels out. I think I would be more paranoid leaving it all night like that.

I will give this a try. I couldn't figure out how to disable the alarm before.

I don't know how to disarm the alarm, but someone commented to lock it 2x. I will try that and give you guys another update.

Don't worry, the lights go off after a minute or so. The car also goes into a 'sleep' mode locked or not, after a period of idle (half an hour, hour, can't remember exact length of time) so it conserves battery life when left e.g. at the airport for a couple of weeks.

However do NOT accept from the dealer that this is normal, it most definitely isn't! Is this a a second user car? Did the previous owner install his own alarm perhaps??
