Default Beeping Sound?

My wife just called me at work and said her car is making a beeping sound. She stated it happens about once every 5 minutes? She said there's nothing on her dash that is saying something is wrong with the car. Any ideas? Has this ever happened to anyone else?

She has a 2008 C6 Coupe with 45,000 miles if that helps

Does she have her cell phone set with a reminder that goes off every 5 minutes?

Exactly what I was thinking. Happended to me and was driving me nuts. Checked my cellphone and that was it letting me know I had a message.

I would think if it was her cell, she would be hearing it at work also, not just in the car.

My C6 started beeping, and I could not figure out what it was. I got in my BMW, and it was beeping, too. I remembered that Verizon had just updated my phone. It turned out my Bluetooth was disconnected on both cars.

That couldn't be it, she called me using her bluetooth while she was driving. She said it hasn't beeped since she called. Hopefully it won't beep anymore.

Tell her to press the un-beep button.
