Key in ignition chime
Is there a way to disable the chime when you have the door open with key in ignition?

Re: Key in ignition chime
yup! in behind the radio is a black box on the left side. Unplug it, remove it. Take the cover off. Look around for what looks like a stack of 3 black quarters, dismantle it. No more ding

Re: Key in ignition chime
Ok will try that then. Nothing else stops working right? Just the door chime? I had the radio out once already stickin the aftermarket one in, didnt notice the black box but I didnt look for it either.

Re: Key in ignition chime
Taking that black box apart like that, can I put it back together so it works again incase I want it working again or its basicly once apart, its disabled and thats it?

Re: Key in ignition chime
once its out, its done.
but worth it
----------
its kinda strange, its not like a speaker, its just some flat washer type things with a few electronic components.
You may be able to unsolder it from the board

Re: Key in ignition chime
You have to put the black box back in or you can keep it out? I mean seems like if you are gutting it, why plug it back in?
