I don't know if it can be disabled completely but there is a PI to reduce the volume. The Techs can go into the program with their laptop and lower the setting. They did it to my 2015 about a year ago and it helped a lot (but I may go back and ask them to lower it some more).

Don't get me wrong I'm not doubting you sk. But what a bunch of bullshit, need a tech with a lap top to turn the volume down?!? LOL. It's a stink'n chime for khrist sake. A tech or vehicle owner should be able to just unplug the stupid thing.

 

Think I might keep my eyes peeled for a pre computer truck and do a restore on it. Screw all this silliness.

No offense taken. I'm not disagreeing with you - I think it's stupid too. There is a setting in the DIC for chime volume but even with it turned the whole way down it doesn't mute the seatbelt chime. I argued about this with GM which is how I know there is no way to disable it completely!

Hell I don't care about the seat belt chime. John law got my mind right on the seat belt thing and I've learned to protect myself against myself. But sometimes if the truck is in the garage I'd like to leave the drivers door open and listen to the radio. Back in the day you could just jam the little black button on the door jam and interior lights and any chimes/bells/whatever were off. Ahhhh... the good old days LOL.

No kidding.

 

Best bet might be to get something like these (if you search ebay and Amazon there are tons of other ones too):

You do know that you don't have to have the key in the switch or the truck to be on at all to play the radio. Just push the power button on the radio it will play till you turn it off. Doors opened or closed. I do t all the time when cleaning my truck. Even works with Bluetooth to play songs from your phone.

 

As far as just unplugging the chime. It's played through the radio speakers now so if you unplug that you get no radio out of that speaker.

Your welcome. No need to say that though as I'm sure there are some tricks still that I'm not aware of. I bet you are not the only one that didn't know what I posted either.

You can easily remove the door chime in the dash under the screen there is a chime box.. Unplug it and you will have no chime ??

Had my truck at the dealer today, they confirmed they could not adjust the chime volume on my UQ3 2016. They did however, re-calibrate my radio.

      2026/2027 Suburban — confirming AS3 bench delete with standard MagRide/Adaptive

      By newdude · Posted

      Here's the 2026 order guide - Vehicle Order Guide   RPO code "AS3"?  Not seeing it.  What is it supposed to be?  I see AS3 used a long time ago as some sort of seat option, but its not applicable to the current Suburban.    I see RPO code "AZ3" which is 1st row 40/20/40 split bench.  That is only on LS trim, which LS can't option any of the trick suspension.     2nd row bench power fold RPO code is "ATT".  So your dealer should be able to sort their locator to find matching builds by searching the combo of ATT and Z95 combined to find a 2nd row power fold with MagRide.     You can do the 2nd row power bench AND have MagRide, or Mag with Air on Z71, RST and High Country.     Here's a Z71 with 2nd row power bench and the Z71 Off Road Package which adds the Adaptive Air and MagRide - 2026 Suburban | Details | Vehicle Locator   Here's an RST with 2nd row power bench and the RST Capability Package, and RST Capability adds the Adaptive Air with Magride - 2026 Suburban | Details | Vehicle Locator   I can't find a High Country, but you can do it on there.  Requires the 6.2, and the Sun and Tow pack which allows you to then option the 2nd row power fold.  Black interior only.  High Country comes standard with MagRide and you can order the air if you get the High Country Deluxe, but Deluxe will take you to captain 2nd row.       You can do it at GMC on the AT4 and the regular Denali (not Ultimate) as well.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By newdude · Posted

      So.  Get this.  On the Chevy regular cab, you can get the factory remote start at the dealer from the accessories catalog.  BUT.  GMC, you can't.   Now...get this...GMC 2 door, you CAN get the power seat.     Go.  Figure.   Anywho.  are you trying to order?  Or locate?  Ordering for 2 door 1/2 tons has been stopped as of April or May?  So you won't be able to order.  You'll have to shop on the ground units or in transit units.     Ordering was stopped because the new trucks are coming.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.  I really appreciate the well wishes.  I'm an engineer in the telecom industry, I know hardly anything about marketing.  Over the years I did some videos for nonprofits and web sites for small businesses and the seed was planted.  Agree with over-buying, I started shooting on an iPhone before I got my first DSLR and tripod.   I'm looking at trucks with potentially 150,000+ miles to keep the cost of entry low while focusing on the client experience and equipment.  Good wireless mics for interviews, the right lenses & lighting to look professional.  But I don't want to be late or break down, the stress of emptying a trailer & securing a rental truck right before a gig would negate any savings from buying a junker.  So anything that leaks water, has extensive rust, or generally unreliable I'd like to avoid.   Does GM/Chevy overbuild these trucks for upfitting?  I talked to a local upfitter, they sometimes tie lights & other 12V into existing circuits, which I always thought was bad.  Which is why I enjoyed the AUX upfit switches on previous trucks (odd they mostly come with off-road or work truck packages).

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.
