Is there a way to turn off the chime that sounds every time you open a door? I get to hear it every time I go to get something out of the back seat, throw a jacket back there before we leave to go somewhere, etc., etc.

Seems an utterly useless feature, does anyone really need a sound to know they opened a door?

I'm guessing this is part of the standard coding options of the instrument cluster... (similar to gong when in reverse for Asian markets, Gong when exceeding 120KM/h for Gulf or seatbelt warning that can be disabled for any market).

I agree, out of all the noises this car makes the door opening GONG is awful. I looked through onboard menus as well and couldn't find a way to shut it off.

In the old days cars had a discrete device that produced the various little sounds like this ... I remember with great satisfaction finding it under the dash of a Nissan, taking it out and smashing into a million pieces with a sledgehammer

in the new 2021's they have changed the sound to a more pleasant sound.

The sound doesn't bother me however, I can see how it may bother others.

When reading these messages, I couldn't remember that my car even has a door chime. So I had to go open the door to confirm that. It was just something in the background that I never paid much attention to. It's similar to the message that comes up on the screen every time I open the door to remind me not to forget my key.

Could always just hum a song every time you open the door and that way wont notice it
