Question: Key Fob and Chime

There are tons of times that I jump out of the Jeep with it running and the chime is driving my wife nuts. Is there a way to turn it off?

Scenario - we're on a road trip and stop at a gas station to grab a bottle of water (surely not gas, this is an SRT after all!). I'll typically pull up, jump out and run in, of course carrying the key fob in my pocket. Inside the Jeep my wife and kids are blasted with the chime saying key fob not detected.

Any ideas? I suppose the drivers wouldn't necessarily notice this, but it might be good for the sanity of all of our SO's. :thumbsup:

Yea, I could get in the habit of taking it out...but there has to be a way to do it. We can turn off the seatbelt chime, so I would think there would be a method here as well.

Try having her keep the other key in her purse on on her? My wife always has the other key in her purse and has never complained about this. I'm not sure if she still gets the chime, but it's worth trying.

That's probably the best idea I've heard yet. Granted, she'll probably lose it. Or it would be in one of her other purses... HA!
Thanks.

True, the fortunate thing for me is my wife tends to buy a purse that goes with everything and will stick with it for a month before changing unless we go out and she needs to match. She tells me all the time she forgets she even has a key since she tosses her purse on the passenger seat and pressed the start button when driving.

Just ran into this issue on Sunday. Pulled up and jumped out of car to use ATM leaving my wife and daughter in the Jeep.

When I got back in, my wife mentioned how annoying the chime was while I was gone. When I made the next stop to jump out and buy milk, I had to leave the fob in the car. :p
