05 v MOST ANNOYING DOOR CHIME IN THE WORLD Does anyone know how to turn the door chime off in a v1? the thing is literally so loud I can hear it inside my house with the car in the driveway. I cant count on both hands the number of times I've wanted to remove the damn speakers (at least it sounds like it comes from the speakers) bc the chime annoys the EFF out of me. Would at the very least be nice to turn it down. Any help greatly appreciated, until I am 90 and cant hear anymore, this is totally unacceptable.

This, or working on it, while I was installing my gauges, and mostly when I turn the car off and let the scavenge pump run, sometimes I'll open the door and let the pump run for a sec (key on) before exiting the car and the damn chime is blaring in my ears. I just want it gone there's no reason for it.

F'n GM and their annoying great ideas...
Why can't we disable the Auto Door Lock feature as well? Though it wouldn't bother me so much if the dorrs UNlocked when I set the parking brake(Car still running).
Safety is great, but at least give the owner the choice to turn these things off if they so choose.

great info guys, much appreciated. I can build engines, port cylinder heads, fab turbo kits and what have you, but when it come to electronics I'm full retard lol 
while on the subject of the dic, how do you set the greeting on the dic when you turn the ignition on? I spent about 2 hours when I first bought the car trying to figure out how to make it stop reading "start your engine chris", My name is NOT chris! lol needless to say i couldnt figure it out, and have learned to deal with it haha, but while the topic is at hand does anyone have any instructions for dummies on how to write a new greeting in the dic?

I had my old cts at the shop one time and the tech programmed his name "DAN" in the DIC, douchebag.

You can change that in the personalization menu. The auto door lock as well.
Main button will get you there.
To change greeting:
Main button/feature programming/personalization.
To change auto door lock:
Main button/feature programming/door lock options

You sir, are the man! Done, and I turned that god awful chime enhancement off, holy **** its so much quieter now its almost like its not there, why in the world would you need a door chime that you can hear from lightyears away geez. thing was rediculous. anyway, here is the money shot, along with the guage pod i made recently
Ps. You like your car hot! 80* on HVAC controls, yikes, especially since its 63* outside
. I never turn my up over 72* with the heated seats on.
