Can anyone confirm that the 2003 C230K has the ability to beep when setting the alarm? I took it to the dealer last week and the service personnel had the general consensus that the 2003 CANNOT be enabled to use the alarm chirp.
If it CAN be done, I'll use WaveyCat's instructions to force the dealer into doing it. Is there also a % volume adjustment ability on the 2003?
Thanks.

At the dealer, using the MB factory handheld laptop tester, go into the car's computer system.
Go into Programs
Locate the Rear SAM Program
Locate Body
Select Netherland

Tony you have a bad dealership - first they won't give you the new key, now they won't do the 'beep sound'... Wow! It seems like they don't want to make money (well at least not off accessories).
You need to find a new dealership!

As for finding a new dealer, that's in the plan. I'm going to give my local dealer ONE more chance tomorrow morning. If they screw with me on the "alarm chirp" or "SmartKey ordering", I'll be going to Baton Rouge. I called the Baton Rouge dealer today and they seem quite happy to help me. So we'll see.

Update: The dealer ACTUALLY did what I asked (told) them. The service foreman came out and asked where the setting was, and thanks to Wavey, I was able to tell him. He had no idea that feature was in there.
So now I have alarm chirps! Happy day. I have noticed that the default volume level is pretty low (I guess I'm never happy). Is there a way to adjust the volume of the chirps on my car?

to get the volume up high they will have to go back into the Rear SAM i can't remember actually which option in was in but i remember seeing something like 10% 20% etc i put mines on 100% its pretty loud but the beep also sounds different.. GOOD LUCK with your stealership

It'll be different at each dealer. In my case, it was a 1/2 hour job and it's $80 an hour. Normally they have a 1 hour minimum, but since it took all of 5 minutes, maybe they felt guilty. Who knows? It's about the only "break" I've gotten from them.

Well at least you got it done. Hopefully if you go back they'll just do it for you -- seem like a quick change. It must be because they are the only ones in town that they act like this. My dealership is great, because they know the next one is only 8 miles away!
