Interesting. The door and seat belt chime is sent via k_can to the ccc which creates the 'ding' through the speakers. If the ccc is locked up then the chime won't work. Either the k_can is shorted/grounded (which in my experience causes the instrument cluster to light up like a x-mas tree along with ever error message that can be produced) or your ccc has some major issues. Try removing the negative side of the battery for 15 min. This should cause everything to reset.
Yep, it might work. It didn't work for me, I tried it, and I tried a new battery, neither helped. CCC was still dead, deceased, no more, kaput

After fooling with the k_can and doing several stupid things, while driving, I am amazed at how robust the CCC/mask/TCU/etc... are.

I think there are some gremlins around
or my battery may be going dead?

After the "reset" through the menu button I haven't had any problems with the i-drive and all functions work but it's been only one day. But another thing that i've noticed is that before when I get into the car and placed the key near the ignition the seat belt chime would activate (without even placing the key in the ignition or having the set belt on). Now I can put the key in and it will only chime when I turn the key!

or my battery may be going dead? If it's the original battery, then yes, it can easily be the battery. If after you replace the battery you still have issues? Then you will be on the same road I am on, sorry, and good luck
