motion_157 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I find the chirp is really annoying when you're unlocking all the doors and the trunk...that's 3 chirps in total. So here's a way to disable the audible chirps. The lights on the car will still flash when arming or disarming: 1) Unlock the doors by pushing the unlock button on the remote. 2) Immediately after unlocking the doors, push the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for two seconds. An electronic chirp will sound twice and the turn signal lights will flash twice to inform you that the audible signal has been turned off. To turn the audible alert back on, just repeat the process above. I stumbled upon this in my user manual on page 2-16 in the Keys and Doors section (Canadian 2005 GT LTD 5MT manual). I really hated the audible alerts..so when I found this I was ecstatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTourer Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Heh heh, I accidently pressed the right combination of buttons b/c mine stopped beeping. I must say I like it w/o the chirps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05_Sport Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Does this work on the 06? I don't have the instructions on the back of my fob, and it doesn't seem to work. I haven't had a chance to read the manual yet, I'll check tonight - it might be in there (go figure!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05_Sport Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 OK, I checked the manual - it is different on my 06, I had to sit in the driver's seat, hold the unlock switch up on the driver's door and put the key in the ignition and take it out at least 6 times in 10 seconds, then open and close the driver's door. Worked like a charm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosta Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Awesome! Did it this morning. BTW, when I get out of the car I use the lock switch on the door and it still chirps when the door closes. I happen to like this since I don't pay attention to the lights when I close the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firepyro515 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 It has the directions on the back of my old 06 remote, but i never tried it because i had nav, which allows you to change that in the info part. Does anyone know if it is the same on an 08? there is nothing on the back of the 08 remotes except the subaru emblem. Also, i don't know who else is thinking this, but i really don't like the bulkiness of the 08 remotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick8373 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 '08 (with navigation) the chirp removal is in one of the navigation menus. Super easy. Why couldn't they put the DRL removal in there??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To hell with the DRL disable, it would be nice if you could cut the seatbelt chime off instead...Not that it really matters to me since I've already pulled the seatbelt buckles apart again and did the mod but this would be a lot less time consuming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disabled both drivers and passanger chime and does not even show the little red unbuckled guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siper2 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 This isn't exactly along the same lines, but does anyone know about disabling the panic button on the remote? I hate its location, I always seem to press it with the keys in my pocket, if I move the wrong way. Drives me nuts. I like the older remotes, where you had to press/hold lock and unlock at the same time. Anyway, just wondering. I'm sure I could clip the back of the plastic button piece or something, but this is the only key fob I have for now (need to get more made) and I don't want to screw it up.
