amusing thread..
my mom had the shop disconnect the chime in her 1994 Ford Taurus and she manages to kill her battery at least twice a month from leaving either the headlights or the interior lights on, because there is no chime to remind her..
now given never vehicles have a 20 min battery saver time out on this stuff..
but it's still an amusing thread to me.. I know mine chimes, but frankly i tune it out.. doesn't bother me..
