Default Passenger Door Open Chime/Buzzer ?

Is it possible to cutomize the settings of the Passenger Door Chime and remove that buzzer. It occurs when the car is at rest and the drivers or any other door is open.

I noticed in the manual that they refer to a **** under the driver's side of the dashboard. This **** is supposed to control the volume of the car's buzzer (seat belts? doors? etc?).

Unfortunately, I do not have that **** on my U.S. LS460. Do you have it on your UAE model?

In the manual, they show the **** in the driver's footwell (assuming the driver's side is the left-side of the interior when looking out the front windshield). Under the dashboard, to the right of the steering wheel.

I hope this makes sense?

Yes buddy that **** actually is for the "panic mode" Increase/Decrease Volume. when the red button on the wireless remote is pressed for more than a second.


The seat belts buzzer i managed to disable by taking my car to the dealer they plug a portable TIS computer using a cable and cutomized the settings from it.

But i will post a picture in a few on how it looks in the driver's footwell.

I'm guessing, but I think that "SET" button is to reset your tire pressure guages.

press and hold and it should set off the alarm on the car

to me, that helps people who tends to forget where exactly they park their cars at

Default Just confirming ...

I now own a 2007 Lexus LS460.

Yes. You can adjust the volume of the chime (the Owner's Manual calls it a buzzer) that occurs when you lock & unlock the vehicle.

There is a turn **** under the driver's dash to do so. It's tough to find, though. It almost abuts the top of the gas pedal. You'll have to get down on the ground to be able to look up under there to find it & adjust it.

The picture in the Owner's Manual doesn't really make this location clear. That picture in the Manual makes it look as though you should be able to see it & adjust it from just sitting in the driver's seat.

Turn it all the way 'into the click' to turn it off entirely. Turning the **** the other way will increase the volume.

Be sure you are adjusting the right thing under there. Just to the left of the correct **** is a button for resetting the tire pressure system/settings.

Even at full volume, I find this chime to be a bit too quiet, as compared to the Toyota Avalon I owned before it.

As mostly I want to use it to be able to find my vehicle in a large parking lot when I am unsure exactly where I parked it.

And it needs to be a bit louder to do that well.

I was hoping this thread would be about retrofitting a buzzer like this in the car;
