Adjusting Chime Level??
Hey all,
The manual says to adjust the chime level you have to hold down button 6 on the presets on the regular radio, but I couldn't find where to adjust it with the NAV radio. Did I miss it?
Anyone here know how to adjust this??
Thanks.

Good luck! I asked virtually the same question several months ago and never got so much as a single reply!
Like you, I'd like to know how to lower the level of the chimes you hear whenever you punch a DIC button.

By "DIC button", he means the column of buttons on the right hand of the instrument console that change the DIC display...top button has a little gas pump, second down has a little gauge, third one down says "TRIP". Idiot Icons...I'm surprised for "TRIP" there isn't a little smilie face with a steering wheel...uh, kind of like this:

In any case, I have no chimes and that's how I like it. I did get chimes once when I left the car with the shifter in neutral and the emergency brake on.
That's exactly how I feel about the chimes. If there is any way at all to eliminate them, I would certainly like to know about it!

Hey Juva.......
If you find out, let me know.........the one that bothers me the most is when you have the accessories mode on and then you open the door....that chime is very LOUD particularly annoying if you need to power up the car in your garage but don't want to fire up the engine.
By the way......seems a "long time ago" we were waiting for these things to built and do the NCM delivery!
