Default hour chime, won't turn off

Hello,
i've searched some posts here on the forum, i know how to turn off hour chime, but it won't stay off, it's activated again when i turn on the engine.
Has anyone had a similar problem?

Also, and not related, my car stereo always starts on aux, instead of fm/am or cd, even tho there are no devices connected in the aux slot. Anyone have a clue on how to fix that?

I have Inpa, ista, ncsexpert etc. but still a newb and learning how to use them.

Sounds like you most likely have a module failing. ISTA should be able to help track it down.

If you have ISTA P the update it and see what happens. It should clear it up.

With the radio just program your key to the settings you want when you start the car. Set your radio, seat, mirrors and set it to memory on the side of the seat. Problem solved

i don't have memory seats installed yet, i've bought some leather comfort seats, but they are not ventilated, so i didn't mount them yet, imagine i didn't know they made ventilated seats i have the car for 4-5 months now, and it has been in service for 3,5 months. I will post a thread related to the "jurney". It is a project car, so there are still lots of things to be done.
