DIY Disable door ajar chime permanently

Update.... this also turns off your blinker clicking noise too. Just a heads up

 

Did that in the BMW when I removed it too. A more than fair trade off.

 

Verrrry interesting.

 

BMWs have turn signals?!

 

As with a lot of other things on a BMW....when they work!

On the Tacoma, I can't hear the turn signal clicker with the radio at a low to moderate volume anyway. No loss there. Wondering if the speaker removal affects any other warning chimes though (i.e. low oil, check engine, overheat, etc.). The warning lights are pretty hard to miss though. But could be a consideration for some.

 

My dealer said the insurance company wouldn't allow them to turn it off :/

 

The mod I did in the accessory door leaves the dome light and the door annunciator in my the dash fully functional.
The mod makes the truck think you are opening the accessory door when you open the driver's door. This turns on the dome light and the door open indicator but not the stupid chime. I never saw a feature on any car that got me so angry.
Now I can leave the door open and listen to the stereo in peace.

 

Care to elaborate or point us in the right direction?

 

This.

 

Hi, I retested mine today and if I do not have that button pressed it dings, no matter what. So the one touch does not work for my truck. This is what I am using. I leave it under my seat and it's a big springy clamp I got from Harbor freight. And it works great

 

@snefo Would you mind providing a little more info for the mod you mentioned?

 

On my access cab, if I just open the rear door and then close it....the chime magically stops

 

Testing this today when I leave the office for lunch....

 

I open my door the chime starts, but as soon as reach back and pop the rear door open for the dog, it stops

 

I found that on my double cab if I open the rear door (while leaving the driver door open with chime on) the chime will stop.

 

Mixed results: Pressing the ignition button without starting once, beep continues - with or without FOB in truck. Press twice for "Accessories" opening the back seat door stops the beep with FOB in or out of the truck. This method will suffice until @snefo weighs in again.

 

@snefo may no longer be with us ✌

 

Thanks, looking forward to disabling it.

 

Thanks much. Just followed your instructions and releived of nagging beep.
