Our 4th Gen door chime is annoying, agreed?

I'm pretty sure that we can agree our door chimes are pretty annoying, especially if left on for an extended period of time.

I actually found out where the chime comes from. It's a little off-white box with a harness that's mounted to the plastic dash piece under the steering wheel. You just need to take the two phillips screws out from either side, and then pull the panel straight out.

Does anyone know if this chime can be replaced? It seems simple enough. It's just a harness that connects to a sound-making-thinga-ma-jigger.

Anyway, feedback and experiences are very welcome. thanks.

well they did a damn good job at it then

I know Toyota's have a nice sound. My family's Previa has an "airplane" type of beep.

I pulled the connector off of that chime relay shortly after buying my 96 Maxima. You'll loose the seatbelt warning chime but also the one for leaving the key in the ignition and maybe a headlight left on warning chime. I don't remember on the headlight warning anymore since it's been disconnected for over six years now. I love the quiet!

d@mn straight. that is one of the most annoying sounds i have heard from a car, but it has saved me with reminding me to turn off the lights on several occasions, so i can put up with it

If you don't like it, just disconnect it. It is simple enough, just unplug it like I did and I guess just don't forget to turn your headlights off without having a deep cycle battery.
