i like that sound (USa with buzzer)
how do I set it.
thanks
how do I set it.
thanks
Ok here we go!
Here is a link to Youtube with my newly set beep. This is the "USA with buzzer" option which is different than the Netherlands setting. Panic button still works as well.

This is a link to a video Moze made a while back showing his car set to the Netherlands setting. Panic button does not work with this setting and the beeps are longer.

Enjoy!
(btw, does anyone know if its possible to embed a youtube video right into your MBWorld post?)

that's the number of people that will have a different opinion on how loud your beeps should be.

Hey Sunil,
You mentioned that you might be coming up to NYC in July. Is that still true?
I'd like to get some setting changes done (Netherlands, fuel gallons remaining, etc) done.
If not Sunil, anyone know if Steve is coming to the US, and specifically, the East Coast sometime?

took my 99 clk320 in the dealer to have it set to netherlands, but the beep did not work. 
could it be a different fuse for the alarm beep and panic siren?
the tech set my car back to us and the panic works.

Back about a month ago, I brought my C230 in for the hose recall, and while there I asked them if they could set the Netherlands setting on my car. I printed out exact directions on how to do this with screen prints someone posted of the Star Diag screens. So there was no way they could have messed it up or say it was "not available" like they told me before 
They got it to work, and I still have my Panic feature enabled. The only thing, is that the beeping is the newer sounding beeps (the 3 fast beeps vs the older 3 slower beeps). Problem is, is that I prefer the slower beeps from the older W203's.
It seems as though the 2006+ models have the newer quicker beeping, while the 2005 and older have the slower beeping. Mine is a 2005, but because it is such a late build '05 (04/2005 Bremen build date with the production # VIN of: F712503), it may have already been programmed with the fast beeps that come on the 2006+ models.

Yeah, got both features working, although I would have liked to have the older/slower style beeping versus the newer style one. Oh well, at least I still have the Panic enabled.

the speed of the beep and also the type of beep can be changed. waveykat had it changed before.
mine is the 3 slow beeps, and my panic still worked. I didn't even ask them to change the settings, they just replaced my faulty alarm!

Is there anybody in the Dallas, TX area who has had this done? My service advisor gave me the same strange looks when I asked for it. I told him to ask the tech and he will know. They kept my car all day and at the end of the day the answer from the tech was "your car doesn't have it".
Funny thing is my loaner car - which was a C230 - had it enabled.
