Never heard a solution to that question and its been asked a few times.
Maybe someone with a shop manual can post the wiring diagram of the LH Door Schematic and we can investgate. Maybe I'll post the question.
I'm with you

OK. I am fed up with GM forcing you to choose between listening to your radio AND the door chime, or running the fuel pump and listening to your music.
I happen to like to listen to my CD's with the doors open while cleaning the car or for what other reason may present itself. But that dinging is grating my last nerve.
So does anyone know which fuse, relay or wire that I can cut or yank out to stop this insanity?
Thanks

I knew the valet would allow the radio to work, I just assumed the chime would still be in effect. I'll have to check mine.

I can turn the key to the first ACC position and I get the radio to work. Radio, windows work that's it. Second ACC postion, all the other components are energized, including the 'ding'. I don't have the chime on the first ACC position.

Of course you're right, how stupid of me.
Is there a way to make the default longer than 15 minutes?
I've just never bothered with the rap part of the valet, but if you could make it longer the 15 minutes, that would be nice.

The choices are 30 seconds, 5 minutes or 15 minutes. 15 minutes is the default setting. There doesn't appear to be any way to make the timeout any longer.

if I'm outside the car I turn on the ignition through the window to get the radio going then remove the key but don't open the door. with the windows down and the top off you can hear it just fine.

I just tried this in my 02 and it dings in the ACC position with radio on and door open.

I just checked the WV Manual. It says retained accessory power works with the stock radio.
Anyone know if it works OK with an aftermarket HU? I have an AVIC X1 with a Soundgate hookup.

I have a D3 and powered it from the taped wire bundle at the upper left corner of the passenger foot well (yellow wire) and this gives power with the key in the 1st ACC position of the ignition (no fans or chimes)
