    You're right! I drove back home earlier and same sound went off only without the first long beep, this time at 4pm...i looked and noticed like a little +)) icon in the corner of the OBC display and realised it must be an hourly signal...i have no idea how i got to that, like u said, must have been accidental.

    i wanna thank everyone for opinions i hate when things like this happen, its embarassing it's good it's harmless tho

    Glad you figured it out...but its easy to figure out how it happened. The only way to set the "hour memo" is to press the S/R button when the HOUR button is selected and illuminated in the OBC's display. (very simple indeed)

    Okay...so everyone remember...when you hear 3 distinctive PIPS just before the hour...check your OBC to see if the hour memo icon is illuminated.

    Yahoo! The girl was right for once. This is a historic moment--the first time I have been able to diagnose a problem when the guys didn't I feel like I have earned my keep here for at least another month. Romeo--you made my day.

    Yeh nick, tried to simplify the whole story, but in both cases it was a ...:59 thing.
