How many chimes?

[mamilapon]

No fasten seat belt sign and gong on my EU/Japan version.

My 535is used to have a chime if I opened a door while driving, but this one doesn't!

I dont have the in-dash display on my TDs, but the old 525i used to have a go if your seatbelt wasnt fastened.

The new one has a lamp in the dash which only comes on for a few seconds regardless of whether you're wearing your seatbelt or not!

I don't get the seatbelt warning either, it just doesn't care!

same here but i do get the "door open" msg. but not the "lights on?"

Just out of interest, I tried to set off with the bonnet and bootlid up and the door open. Ok the courtesy light came on but not a peep otherwise. I also tried to be sneaky and fastened my belt before I switched on - no chimes! but it still told me to fasten my seatbelt .

Me neither - don't get a door open warning either, used to but now it just don't care if I don't put on my seatbelt, drive away with the door open and fall out.... Perhaps it just want's a new owner...

4 times? Is that all? My '06 325i chimes 25 times! I counted.

Correction: It DOES warn if the door is open. You just have to be moving and not trying to cheat it. Both the bonnet and boot light wiring are u/s. Will see what happens when I have sorted them. And I thought the car was the dumb one

hahaha annoyed?

More of a niggle than a problem. Get in the car, switch on the ignition and get the fasten seat belt warning. What bugs me is that I also get 4 chimes. Yes I can disconnect the 'bell' but I do like it to chime and draw my attention to having e.g. a bulb out. So my question is two-fold:
1. Can I get it to chime once only?
2. Can I add/change the messages?
Be cool if it said 'dont forget its her birthday'

since you mentioned it, yeah it will be a cool feature to add or change the msg. in our CC display anyone know if this is possible and how??
