Hi,
can someone please tell me how I can disable this terrible warning chime which appears if key is in ignition switch and drivers door is open?
This sound drives me mad....

Sorry for my bad english, hope you understood what I wanted to know.

Greetings,
Taz

Probably the best way to disable the chime is to not leave the keys in the ignition when you have the door open for long periods of time...just a thought though...i wouldnt want to lock my keys in the car

How about the annoying chime that starts when I open the door without the keys in the ignition?

If the key is in the ignition, and you get out of the car and hit the doorlock button, the driver's door will not lock (actually, it will unlock itself in a second or two). Nice feature to keep you from locking your key in the car.

Of course, if you take the key out and lay it on the console, then lock the door, you're screwed.

It does it then too??? Or is it just when the lights are on?


On my Explorer and F150 I cut the small black wire that goes to the ignition lock cylinder,it goes to the key sensor switch, that stopped it on both of mine.
Not sure if the mustang is the same, take the cover off the ign switch and look. Seems like it was about 1-2 inches inward from where you insert the key, should be the only wire in that area.

Yep, I disarm, open the door, and it instantly starts. Very annoying.

Thanks for the tip - I'll take a look. I'm also going to feel around to see if I can find the buzzer itself and pull it. That's worked on other cars in the past.

So you think there is no "software" way to disable this chime?

No option in WDS?

I now see that all 2005's came with the AUP (Annoyance Upgrade Package)

- Big Key
- Seatbelt Safety Alarm
- Keys-in-Ignition Warning System
- Uncontrolable Seat Pitch (During rear seat entrance)
- Smokey Attraction Feature
- Extended Ordering Timing Belt

re: - Uncontrolable Seat Pitch (During rear seat entrance)

That is a huge annoyance! You'd think in the 21st Century all car seats would be engineered to let us tilt the seat forward, grab something out of the back and then lean the seat back into it's original position! Hell, when I pick up a suit from the dry cleaners and I going to have to walk all the way around my car and put it in the back from the passenger's side?

As far as the ignition sound, I remember on my 81 Mustang doing something to the switch to keep it permanently pushed in.

Hmmm.. looks like I'll have to drive to my local dealer and ask him to check it with WDS.

I'm surprised that you like this chime and think it is necessary.
I'v never driven a car which reminded me to pull off the ignition key.

Can't figure how to lock all doors with key in ignition.

Another question (easyer than the last one) how high is the octane# of premium grade fuel?
