Title: Ding Noise "door open"
Post by: Stinger on July 05, 2013, 06:21:47: It appears that most new cars now have a function. That when you turn the ignition off when the car has not been running & open the door. The car "dings" non stop to warn you to take the key & the door is open.
It's ok, but rather annoying.
Does anyone know if you can turn this off?

Thanks.

Lot of smart PPL on here who even may know how to do it

This might work. I can't check it as I have the Premium with keyless start.

If you leave a key in the car and shut door, warning chime stops, but when you go to lock with the other key from outside the car, it won't lock and there is a warning. This warning is also evident if you open a locked hatch and drop the key in the boot and then shut the hatch. It seems like its impossible to lock the car with a key in it.

Also, you don't seem to be able to lock the car if you leave the sunroof open.

If you do everything in the correct sequence you don't get warnings. By this I mean, stop car, put it in park, apply handbrake, stop engine, (and probably a few other things lock close all windows) and take the key(s) with you when you open the door.

Hope this makes sense.

I prefer not to think too deeply about it. When I get it wrong I think, "Shit, did it again. Gotta get that right next time. Oh well, who gives a ....... anyway."

lol....
Yeah, All good. Thanks for the detailed info... It's more for me to do with turning the car off / having ignition on with door open chimes, but all good. One of those things i have to get use to. It's very clever to beep like a C3P0 on crack when u leave the keys in and try to lock the door. Done that twice LOL.
