Annoying door open 'bing' sound

ukmgranger · 04-11-2011 06:37pm

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the driver-side door open bing sound?

I quite often have the car started, but want to have the door open to chat to someone for example.

I really don't think there is the need for such an incessant noise Shocked

. I'm usually pretty aware when the door is open!

I thought all new cars had this 'feature' but I'm not aware if it can be switched off

The seatbelt chime can sometimes be stopped by inserting and ejecting the seatbelt clip approx 10 times in under a minute.

I expect these things like the ghastly sun-visor stickers are part of nanny state vehicle type approval rules and cannot be switched off. You could of course take the instrument panel apart and find the offending sounder and castrate the car by removing it.

There is an option in the menu system called something like 'audible alarm' - could any of you guys with cars try that to see if it's related? I've asked my dealer but he wasn't sure

Can't be mute it's a nanny state. My Lexus was the same way it was worse if you have the door open and in gear

It's the world we live in. Everything dose it.

My evoque
Microwave
Fridge
Washing machine
My bus at work (although it dosen't tell you have left your lights on and come back after my break and it won't start)

Can't think of anything else
