Stop the open door beeping

Whats the best way to stop my 2009 Tacoma from beeping when the door is open?
Is there any good reason to have the beeping?

let's you know you did something dumb and either left the keys in or the lights on?

 

Ill take my chances with leaving the keys in or the door open. How do I make it stop?

 

the only thing I've seen is people removed the speaker from the back of the gauges. as far as I know there is no other way to stop the beep.

 

This worked on my '12. No trip to the dealer.

open driver door
insert key into ign
remove from ign
within 5 seconds reinsert key and turn ign switch on
after 10 seconds MAY give you an answer back buzzer
within 10 seconds after that hit a transmitter button twice to change the setting.
