Yes, the L uses the horn, is not like the SE my friend has that is that micro-wave (same my TC 2013 has) sound which i rather have than this horn sound, its like the horn is drowning haha. I think on the 2016 that piece explained in the video is between the radiator and the bumper, i will unplug that and see if that silences the beep beep. I got the car on a dealer with 5 miles so i don't know if they put aftermarket alarm or not honestly. It just annoying to see others corollas doing the micro-wave sound when mine is that annoying drowning horn.
Gotcha. I specifically did not want push button start as I don't like that feature after having it on my 13 Avalon Limited and my rental Sentra. And I also had a sunroof in a few other cars I've had and I've never even used it, much less opened the shade to let in light. Just not my thing. But the keyless entry/locking is a VERY nice feature I liked.
Funny story, not really, about my better halfs uncle/aunt and their Buick LaCrosse and keyless entry. He's a retired AF bomber pilot. To make a long story short, he didn't have his key fob in his pocket to start his push button car. His wife, sitting next to him, had her fob in her purse in the passenger seat, BUT the car wouldn't turn over cuz it didn't read him as having the key. He had someone try to jump the battery. HUGE mistake. Thank God for his extended warranty. He did over $3k worth of damage to the electrical system by trying to jump start it with that push button auto start. After mine developed a short in my 13 Avalon, I said never again.
Unlikely. Those fob aren't that intelligent to distinct between his and hers (they wouldn't even make the difference between a fob and a hacker computer). Plus the fob did work, since it already had allow them in the car.
Either some misstep in starting procedure or pre-existing electrical problem. Actually, more likely the infamous GM "Passlock" glitch. Been there...

But she had hers, and it apparently unlock the doors... I've had two GMs, both with the "passlock" issue. Granted they were remote with keys (not push button start) but the scenario randomly repeated itself from time to time. You would unlock the doors, put the key in ignition, turn the key and... nothing ! Solution A was to wait 10-15 minutes for the "passlock" to wake up. Solution B was to permanently disconnect it. I eventually opted for solution C : buy something else
