In Fresno there's a gym owner named George brown, he's an avid car buff. He and his wife get there hair did at a salon across the street from my office down there. He's had a number of amazing cars parked over there, two of em being RR. One phantom a while ago and most recently a RR coupe, the new one can't remember the model. But I shot the shit with him about em checking em out and all and I could not believe they had the same frickin door chime as my 525! I know they're built by BMW but cmon gimme a break. Switch the sound if ur going to build a 300k dollar plus vehicle!! Made me feel real good about my chime for a bit

That's hilarious they put the same chime in a Rolls. The next time it's sounding I'll close my eyes and pretend I'm a movie star. Anyway I'm sure whoever came up with the chime is pretty proud of it, and thought it would be great if it were going off all the time.

Curious as well.
550i, I'm really glad you have details on this. A few questions:
- Where is the body gateway module located? Do you have its connector pinout?
- Would filtering the CAN-BUS x205 command also disable the interior lighting when the door is opened? (I assume grounding the latch sensor would.) I'd like to keep the lighting working.
- Do you have a map for the data in the x205 command?
- Do you know if there are software settings for this?
I can build a CAN filter if necessary (I am an EE), but would want to go a simpler route if possible. I can share my plans if I wind up building something.
Thanks.

Here are the pins along with the names

I have the message (2 bytes) of the chime. When I've injected the message on the K_CAN the door chime goes off. It's really amusing until you run your battery down flashing the lights and playing the chime over and over.
The door chime is: 0x205 with data 0xF3FF
I'm working on some K_CAN hacking at the moment; making a trailer module for my recently installed Westfalia towbar. In the process I've discovered the hazzard/blinker CANID and data for: left, right, and both, the double and single flash for the alarm set/unset, and the PDC on/off sequence.
I'll be making another post on my CANBUS findings soon once I'm done with my trailer module.
No. I don't if it's a 'code-able' feature or not. This might be a dealer question or indy shop that has the coding tools necessary.
I've been using a MCP25050 to talk to the K_CAN so far - and it's what I will be using in my trailer module. Yeah, sure, if you collaborate that would be cool!

I checked the speaker under the driver side dash last night- I really thought I could just disconnect it and the chime would be gone. But I was horrified to find out the chime is coming out of the door speakers, not the under dash speaker. (Actually, I'm not sure what the under dash speaker is for if not for the chime.) My car is a 2008 E61- it might be different on other models.
This will require more sleuthing. I hate that damn chime.

If it's coming out of the speakers then it should be easy to disable it, unless it's coming through the radio...

Someone PLEASE post a solution to turn this freaking dong off! Unlike some of you the one on my wife's car is ridiculously loud, I can hear it in my house as my wife gets in and starts her car! As far as the seatbelt one it is also ridiculous, I am an adult and if I chose to not wear my belt to move my car into my garage etc I should have a choice whether or not to hear that obnoxious sound. I have read allot of post on not wearing seat belts and I just don't get it! I can ride a motorcycle without a helmet if I chose so in many states, yet I can't drive without a seat belt. How ridiculous is that? And for those of you that oppose this as long as your not responsible for my insurance premiums or my funeral expenses please keep your comments to yourself. I'm not trying to be rude but I believe it my choice whether to wear one or not!

Get a loose buckle and stick it in.
And then get an light accident and on top get a massive blow by the airbag that is going of while you move forward not beeing held by the seat belt. The airbag will probably hurt you more then the accident.
Maybe disable the airbag also
