How to stop the dinging when parked

If we go somewhere and I leave my wife in the passenger seat and I get out to go in somewhere with the engine running the warning dinging starts because I have the key in my pocket. Is there a way to turn that off other than taking the key out of my pocket and leaving it with her?

Thanks'
Rodney

As far as I've found, your choices are to turn the car off or leave the key inside.

Or perhaps open the window and climb out then let the passenger close the window again, not ideal but there really isn't another workaround.

Or maybe there is... third party coders on the forums might be able to code it out at a cost.

Your wife just needs to press “okay” on the steering wheel. “Key not detected”, “okay”.

Two options.
1. Do not close your door completely
2. You wife can open her door.
