Door chime sound disappeared

[Rufus2005]

Hi, I have an odd issue where my car no longer makes the chime sound when I open the door.

Anyone got any ideas on this please?

Just enjoy the silence.

 

[Rufus2005]

Just enjoy the silence.

Haha yeah I thought a few people would say that. I kind of liked it to be honest and just thought it's strange it's stopped

 

[AndyL61]

Yeah it is strange. I take it you've done the old turn off, lock , unlock, turn on.

Yeah I've only had the car a week and I'm sure it did it for the first couple of days and not since

Chime sound?

Chime sound?

The noise the car makes when you open a door, or did in my case

Isn't the chime controlled by an item in the sounds menu item?

I can't find anything in the menus that seems to control it

If my car does it, I have never noticed. Is this another joy reserved for the Trophy?

I don't know actually, mine is a trophy though. I'm sure it did it at first and in all the reviews I watched it made the sound as the door was opened.

I'm not discounting the possibility that I've just never noticed it, but I'm not aware of my car ever doing it.

Thankfully.

Hehe ok, let me know if you notice it

My car chimes when you are in the car , you stop and open the doors. Is that what you mean ?

Yeah that's it

Mine chimes too, I wonder if it’s linked to the system sound volume level, the one that also adjusts the indicators

Not sure. My indicators are set on approximately 30 percent volume

I know I’ve read another thread somewhere that suggests you can reduce the chime volume, but not remove it completely. My very new ER certainly makes the noise but it is one of those things I haven’t yet investigated personally.

You could try a head unit reset , hold home button until it restarts. Or a factory reset .
