Easiest way to disable door dinger?
Easiest way to disable door dinger? I'm not a fan of the dinger that sounds when the key is in the ignition and the door is open. It was easy to disable on my last car. What is the easiest way to disable it in my 2000 WS6?

No, chime is in the BCM. Unlike newer vehicles, replacing the HU will not affect the chimes. Disconnecting the light green wire in position C14 of the blue 32-pin connector at the BCM will eliminate the key-in signal. It will not eliminate chimes for seat belt, headlights, etc.
Is the problem that you don't like the chime while you are working on the car?
I like the chime as its saved me many times from locking the key in the car during normal driving, etc.
When I work on the car, I just take a screw driver and press down the door latch to make the car "think" that its closed. When I'm done, I just put the screw driver back in, pull on the door handle, and then flip the latch back open so I can close the door.

I'm sure the NHTSA wouldn't approve of this, though.
