Door Open Dinga - RRS

[101RRS]

How do you turn off the door open dinga when the keys are in the ignition. I am loading my car up at the moment and have all the doors open but need the ignition on to run the fridge.

The dinga is annoying the crap out of me.

Thanks

Side cutters? :p

My 2IC on Norfolk Island did that to my company car when he had it whilst I was on leave. He did fit a switch to enable it as needed.

You'd probably need Rovacom or similar for a Rangie.

You could flick the door lock catch into the closed position. Just remember to release it before you slam the door ;).

I asked Land Rover this very same question about an hour ago. According to them it can't be stopped, which I find a bit strange as they managed to disable the seatbelt dinga, which was just as annoying.

The signal/circuit from the door switches must be controlled by a fuse somewhere...

I had all the alarms switched off in my L322 when I got it serviced by a private LR mechanic.I don't need the car to tell me how to drive it. Pat

I know that sound drives me insane aswell... Landrover are useless, i asked them how too use the factory bluetooth handsfree, and they were like we dont know how too use it.... so i never got it too pair with the three phones ive had.... useless...

The signal is received from the door latch & sent to the CJB, which in turn communicates with the Instrument pack & signals the chime, Which by the way in the Australian Market Cant be switched off via the dealers ISD/SSD.

But in some circumstances, if you stick the seat belt strap end into the seat belt stalk & press the release button 10 times from memory within 5 seconds, it may turn off. It was something like that, may have to do a search..

If I recall correctly, to switch the seat belt dinger off is turn the ignition switch to I, then plug in / release the belt 10 times within 30 seconds. If that doesn't work, then it's turn the ignition to II.

I keep meaning to do this with mine, the bloody bongers drive me mental. I know the whole lot can be switched off somehow, but the dealer's can't won't do it, has to be a knowledgeable independant.

Alto were very good and turned off the seat belt dinga through the computer when they serviced my car a while back but according to them they have no way of disabling the key in the ignition dinga, despite getting plenty of requests to do so.

They said that the chime comes from behind the instrument panel so there is no way of getting to it to cut any wires etc.

In my VW I had I pulled the siren box out as they can't be switched off,you could try that. Pat

I solved this problem in my D3 by fitting an aux battery and a dedicated permanent power supply for the fridge:p.

(In the Cayenne it's easier. There is no door open/key chime.:D:D plus the four power sockets are permanently live.)

Hah...have to laugh at this. Try driving American cars like Jeeps. They don't have chimes, they have klaxons. Nor is there any grace period of a few seconds, it's just full-on nag-nanny mode the instant you step out of line.

After a night drive in a Wrangler I very nearly got on an aircraft with the intention of flying over and then stabbing the people responsible for the dinga-dong noises. In fact, I hear the CIA once used extended listening to Jeep's chimes as torture but it was deemed a crime against humanity so they switched to waterboarding instead.

So, I can live with my D3's chimes. I've heard worse.

Good response...

And then just take the key out :cool:

Turn the key to position II and it won't ding.

Or get a second battery / permanent outlet .

I have the dinga when the keys are in the ignition & the door is open in the hiace.Tojo recon it is an ADR or some similar rule & it has to be like that,has only been in the last couple of years.

It is an absolute PITA & i hate it:mad:

I can pull a wire off the speaker that dings,but then if i leave the headlights on accidently,it won't ding as it uses the same speaker..
