Nope. When it honks it the car telling you something isn't right. Usually something is left open or a micro switch has failed.

I get it every now and then, but my top is manual, so I know it's the microswitch under the... deck thingy, I guess it's called. Sometime the top is not sitting down all the way or it's still stiff from being up all winter. I leave the top down all summer so by June, it usually isn't a problem anymore.

Just replaced the stock CDR 220 Becker with a Pioneer Blue Tooth Set-up. Since I picked up the car, I now have the dreaded 1 Honk every time the car is locked or unlocked.

Can this somehow be related or does the timing of all this just make it seem that way?

It is most likely related. If you look at the CDR 220 you removed, there is a sticker on one side of the radio. (I think it is on the left side.) This matches up with an electrical connection. If the sticker isn't present, it will cause the anti-theft system to think the radio has been moved. Put a piece of electrical tape on your new radio in the same location as the sticker on the Becker unit. That should fix the problem.

Makes sense and thanks for making me aware of a 10 year old solution to my new problem!
