Door Buzzer Disconnect Switch

To be able to listen to the radio with the driver's door open and not have the annoying chime sound, i added a button into the door switch circuit:

Good thinking...

20 bucks says you lock you keys in the car at least twice in the next year because you forgot to turn the buzzer back on. lol.

Re: Door Buzzer Disconnect Switch

ya know what might be cool to try: a momentary switch, then you would only have to hit the button again to turn the noise off/on and not really have to worry about locking the keys in the car

NICE BACK UP!

Let me guess. Behind the gas door, or on the back handle for the hatch?

And LifeX, a momentary would not work. Because that's what the factory switch is. Its a momentary. Plus you'd have to hold it in the entire time you'd want to eliminate the chime. Thus for, defeating the purpose of the mod.

Rep points.

Re: Door Buzzer Disconnect Switch

Thank you all! The easiest electrical project i've done. But sure, it increases a chance for locking the keyes, so having a back up way to unlock is always nice, regardless of door buzzer.

No, its more elaborate than that. Dont want to compromise the security any further

Here is a close-up of a safe location for the switch so there is no interference with the belt etc:

Always one step ahead, Victor.

Super clean install. Soldered no doubt and shrink tubed even on the switch terminals. The double stick attachment point with a zip tie finishes it off. As good as Factory. NICELY done AND a great idea.
