I think your tech just didn't want to spend the time to take care of you as I am sure he could have gotten it to work if he really wanted to.

That sucks so in order to chirp the car you had to disable the side mirror back up function? So its basically a give and take on doing it!

Hey sorry about your previous posts about the car. I bet it sucked walking into the garage and not seeing your car huh? Well at least you got your car fixed and everything is working properly again.

Keep us posted on your findings from what the tech stated.

My 03 used to chirp but the dealership in Belmont CA removed it when I took my car in and wouldnt (or couldnt) put it back. Now I am chirpless

Oh wait...I forgot to mention that they told me I was nuts when I told them my car used to beep before. They said it wasnt possible???? Needless to say I wont go back there.

Unfortunately, if that is your approach you will quickly run out of dealers to take your SL to!

hey Guys, The chirp can be activated on all R230's just as i explained to "meagle" it takes some fishing and can be done, but you should not have lost reverse mirror setting, that is in a different system (eis and ic) and should not be effected by and alarm setting.
