I have a 2016 Prostar with the factory installed battery apu system, first of all I like the system but have two complaints.
1. When the auto start engages and starts the engine you hear 3 beeps as when you manually start the engine, needles to say it is like a alarm clock going off while you are sleeping.
2. With the key in the off position and the auto start activated if your air leaks down the low air alarm sounds, again not good if you are sleeping.
Does anyone else have this issue or is there a problem with this particular system.

Well the air issue is either your not setting trailer brakes or you have a minor leak elsewhere. I am driving the same setup as you are and my air never leaks out unless I don't set trailer brakes and trailer has a minor leak. The beaping o. Startup well I'm not a light sleeper but wouldn't quite say I am a heavy one either it's never woken me up.
You may be able to find a quiet lot chock your wheels release all all brakes and track down the minor leak as I can see the low air waking me up that #### thing is loud on mine lol -
You can mute the low air alarm when the engine is NOT running by holding up on the Panel dimmer switch and press the LCD display selector knob at the same time for about 5 seconds until it quits.

No, he is talking about when it is armed to start but hasn't yet.

I'm really going to have to do the deep detective work myself, getting under the rig to find the leak. Interesting thread, and I've learned a lot. Tks for contributing.
