Hi all, hoping you can help diagnose a chiming sound. I recently coded out the seatbelt warning light/chime, along with the start/stop function. I did this right when I took delivery of the car, so I’m not sure if it was happening before or not.
When I start the car, there are ten dings or chimes in succession, maybe 15s after turning the car on. It seems to be unrelated to being too close to something, that’s a different noise. Any thoughts?

I should add, there are no lights on the dash or screen with any warnings or anything.

Check the clock. It may be stuck at Christmas time 😆

What procedure did you follow when coding them out. sounds as if you might have messed that up?
If I recall correctly, things chime when you have the door open with ignition on, or if you start the car and walk away with the key. etc..

Normally I do have a Christmas tree light set up on my dash, but thankfully not with this car.. yet.

I followed ThiccWhips tutorial, Bluetooth adapter and BimmerCode, airplane mode, diagnostic mode, went into the category, coded it, applied changes, car off and back on and it all seemed to work. I have a video of the chimes if that helps. Trimmed the video so it fits.

It sounds like a radar detector to me. Do you have a radar detector?

Didn't someone else recently have some jank dealer installed alarm bullshit on their car that went off once they started it? Could this be similar?

I have no idea! Maybe my car needs to get used to me, and know that I’m the owner? Thinks I’m a bad guy breaking in? Stoked to see the PNW scene here, don’t really see many supras on the streets around here.

I mean…. Sounds eerily similar. Had it shipped up from Lithia down in CA.

I was just thinking about that, once I heard the video, I remembered that exact post. I'm pretty sure it's that junk

Spot on. I just pulled apart the footwell and there’s this little GPS tracker. Now I have to figure out how to take it out… thanks a ton everyone.
When you do take a little road trip down to the dealer and drop that shit on their front desk without saying a word.
