My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
Enlighten us. I'm not a Sublime fan (not even really sure who they are.) So what is the connection/trick?

is there any way to either turn off the audio or quiten down the warning bong??
its driving me mad
at the moment im getting warning bongs for seatbelt/bulb out (led's) and speed limit exceeded, now i want to keep the warning info but need to quiten down the chime.
im fitting resisters to cure the constant bulb out chimes but want the limit and seat belt lights, but dont like the bong/chime.
any ideas?

i disagree.. it doesn't come from any of the actual speakers.. i've checked that already
i think it's a dedicated speaker somewhere.
However, I finally started actually using my seatbelt so maybe it is more of a feature than a bug
