Re: Key in ignition key beep disable - note
Good stuff Carig.
Well, that is another way of doing it I guess LOL
Just remember that the person you sell your exy to, might and could be a "beeper fan" hehehe
If that happens, how easy do you think it would be to solder back the beeper and have it operational?

Re: Key in ignition key beep disable - note
Excellent stuff Craig.
Thanks for the very informative pics.
These will now be added to KIY Guide= Kill It Yourself. hehehe
Seriously though, will add it as Option 2 for disabling the chime in Series II.

Re: Key in ignition key beep disable - note
Thanks Ben, Am glad you finally got the manual
Are you sure thing M9 plug doesn't control something else? like the engine immobiliser for example?
Have you checked that after you un-plugged it?
Finally, can I get to this plug without removing the steering column cover?
This is turning into a very simple DIY which is great.

Yep - according to the manual, this connector's pin 1 is 12V from the fuse block via a couple of other connectors, and Pin 2 is direct (only) to the Time Control Unit.
You posted this earlier:
The Time Control Unit doesn't seem to really do anything "critical" - it controls the door lock actuators for remote locking/unlocking (under command from the separate remote control unit), dims the interior lights, beeps when you leave the headlights on, that knd of thing.
The immobiliser's a separate unit, and the sensor for it is the ring around the key ignition. Once you get the steering column cover off you'll see a little box sitting on top of the ignition switch, with a plastic ring attached that encircles the key. That's the immobiliser (or "NATS IMMU" in the manual). I've read a little in the manual about this device, pretty fancy. It even hooks into some models of radio to store radio settings per-key (driver), and presumably other things like electric seat settings...
I've taken the car out for a drive - all seems well, and not a bloody beep to be heard :-)

No, you've got to remove the cover. The plug's right underneath the ignition switch itself.
