anyone of you guys how to get rid of the annoying sound when we open our driver side door while the key is still in ignition. because sometimes i just want to listen to the radio/cd and i want to leave the door open. i know it serve the purpose for reminding us that we might leave the key on, but its really annoying sometimes.
in my other car, 1997 rav4 i found a thread in rav4world.com on how to disconnect the wire. just wondering if its also possible with our xtrail (2003)
thanks .

Have a look in the DIY Section of the Australian X-Trail Forum under "disabling key-in warning chime" and you'll find the answer.

:wtf: You can, of course, use that translucent section of door normally known as a "window". Most peeps find that by lowering said section of door, sufficient ventilation is obtained - either with the key in, or out. If you find this is insufficient, I think you will find that there are three other "windows" which can be lowered in a similar manner, and with similar effect. :asleep::jawdrop:

Mad Hat, it's not the same listening and/or working on the car with the doors open and having this crappy beeper alarm going through your ears. It gave me the shits from the first moment I got the xtrail and it was one of the first things I have done to kill it. Am doing exactly the same thing to my wife's Tiida which got this annoying beeper too.

my reply was, at least partially, tongue in cheek :idhitit:

Having checked this morning - it appears that we, in the UK, do not have this "design enhancement" :lame: and can have the music on and the drivers door open as far as we like:woowoo:. Either that or its summat else that doesnt work.:idhitit:

Not sure about that mate, as far as I know ALL xtrails came with this key-in warning chime, so if you bought your exy second-hand, the previous owner has disabled it for you or it's not working, in both cases you're a winner and don't have to worry about it
