What’s happening to everyone?
Can the “gong” sound that plays whenever you open the door while the key is in the ignition be turned off? In order to vacuum the carpets and other surfaces in my car today, I had the radio on and the doors open. However, for some reason, the car continued producing the highly obnoxious gong sound every few seconds. I would imagine that I could leave everything open and continue to listen to the radio without being reminded every five seconds that the key is in the ignition.
can be carried out using coding. I think you can turn off the gong in positions 1 (simply turn the key in) and 3 (engine on), but not in 2. I believe that the position 2 gong is an excellent one to have because, if you’re not paying attention, it can quickly deplete your battery.
fudge…
With my G35, I never experienced this many issues; I could just remove and change anything without any issues. Now, it looks as though I must request permission from the vehicle before doing anything. I can’t just alter my sound system without having to do some other insane things, and because of code, I can’t turn off the gong noises. What can I possibly do?
Although the “gong” volume can be reduced, I haven’t actually tried to turn it off. I think it’s on the menu button or the musical note button. The volume control sign is actually a “gong” that cycles through the subwoofer menu.
Well, I find that to be rather annoying. Even with the doors open, I can’t clean my car without the gong constantly ringing out. I’m just trying to clean the car and listen to music, I know the keys are in the ignition.
The volume knob only needs to be pushed in; leave the key out. Without the key, the radio functions.
Are you merely skipping the responses to post new complaints? It has been claimed by several people that you can start the car without putting the key in and then switch on the radio. I fixed the issue, dude.

How can a BMW gong be stopped?
Unfortunately, in order to silence the speaker, you must remove the instrument cluster. Mines were set all the way down, but none of the gongs changed. Unfortunately, in order to turn off the speaker, you must remove the instrument cluster.
On a BMW i3, how can you turn off the pedestrian sound?
Strangely, I cannot seem to locate any on/off switch anywhere on my 2015. The owners handbook refers to settings/pedestrian safety (or words to that effect), but once in settings, I see nothing at all related to this, and I don’t really hear much of a sound while in EV mode at a low pace. Would not mind hearing a cool UFO sound similar to the vintage Fisker Karma.
It hurts a lot. In the UK, you can disable it. However, the automobile returns to the hum when you restart it. Would have preferred not to have bothered the speaker. PS90 choice!
figured it out, or at the very least made turning it on and off pretty simple. One of the “radio” buttons can be set up to function as an on/off switch. Simply choose the pedestrian noise function from the settings menu, then press and hold the desired radio button to preset it. Once you’re done, that button will now serve as your on/off switch for the pedestrian noise.
That advice is fantastic! I had no notion that buttons could be set up to serve purposes other than radio.
I just configured one to turn on “hold state of charge.” When I wanted to save the remaining battery power for later, I always found it unpleasant to have to go through Menu – Settings – Auto eDrive – Hold status of charge.
I’ve tried the Pedestrian Warning a number of times – on and off, at low speeds, in quiet places, with the windows down – but I can’t hear a thing. Is it just difficult to hear in a car, or is mine broken?
By the way, I use the buttons for navigational purposes as well, like calling home or other numbers.
I appreciate the advice, but I would much rather have a numeric keypad than the buttons you suggested for using the phone or entering radio station information, etc.
Regarding the pedestrian warning, I’ve also not heard anything. I’m not sure what’s missing.
ChiTown likely meant that he had specific contacts pre-programmed onto the radio keys when he said that. The touchpad works flawlessly for entering phone digits; you don’t even need to look.
In Switzerland, actually. I chose it since it was an open option. It can be turned on and off. I simply cannot distinguish between them.
Why does opening the door cause my BMW to turn off?
Before I bought my X5, I had a 2014 3 series, and when I got out of the car, the engine continued to run. With the X5, this is not the case. It is a little frustrating that the car shuts off as I get out of it. Is there a solution to this problem?
I know what the auto stop/start feature accomplishes. Let’s say I pull over at seven elen and I’m carrying someone. The moment I open the door to get a drink, the engine immediately shuts off. Why did this occur?
I’ve experienced the same thing, and it’s odd because it’s inconsistent. I’ve had both instances where I left the car running while keeping my key in my pocket. … there have been instances where the engine has stopped after I’ve gotten out and moved only a few steps.
Because auto stop/start shuts off the engine to conserve gasoline, it occurs. The automobile recognizes that you are not driving (in park, door open) and shuts off the engine when you, the driver, open the door. If you are not moving, it doesn’t want to consume fuel. Turn off the start/stop.
How can I modify my BMW’s active sound?
Fortunately, BMW gave you a few options. If your car has a sound simulator, you can vary the volume of the sound by adjusting the ASD settings in the iDrive menu. You can opt to have it decreased, balanced, sporty, or applied to the driving mode, depending on your preferences.
The NBT Evo ID5 and ID6 head units’ ASD can be altered as follows:
- Enter the “Car” menu.
- Go to “Settings.”
- Decide on “General Settings.”
- To find “Engine Sound,” scroll down.
- Select your preferred driving mode from reduced, balanced, sporty, or other.
In an automobile, what does Gong mean?
The Entrance In an elevator system, a gong is used to signal when the elevator car has reached the landing. Only when the car is stopped on a landing does the gong sound.
What does my BMW’s beeping sound mean?
Okay, so this is the second of my three questions. My car occasionally beeps strangely when I’m driving and once while I’m parked.
“beep…beep…beep…bbbeeeepppp…” And that’s it; nothing else appears on the display; nothing at all. Initially, I thought it might be low gasoline, but it’s actually doing it with a full tank of gas. Lane departure? No, it wasn’t that either because it had previously occurred while I was on the phone while seated in the garage. What the heck is this noise?
The hourly reminder is it. It reminds you with brief beeps at the top of each hour. You can disable it. It is in the setting if you have i-drive.
Until I discovered what it was, it drove me mad as well. The following is an excerpt from my manual:
Space Grey/Black Leather 2011 X3 xDrive35i F25, Premium, Cold Weather, BMW Apps, Sirius, and Technology packages are available. BMW Member of CCA old automobiles 2007 E90 335i 06 750i E65 (CPO)
The beeps are so weak that at first I believed I was going mad. Once it started happening frequently, I believed I had to include it on my list of issues. It’s stupid to leave the hourly alarm’s default settings on.
I believed my car, which I had only three weeks ago, had a computer or electrical problem, which would have made me the target of my family’s jeers as they all suggested I get the Lexus IS because of its higher reliability.
Thank you so much for letting me know that it was only a setting on iDrive that I might have accidentally changed. I love this thread more than any other.
How do I deactivate TP on my automobile radio?
Hello, Information about traffic is involved. I’m sorry, but I don’t have the same radio as you, so I can’t tell you how to turn it off. It usually has something in the settings. Even a button to turn the radio on and off is present on some models.
I’m aware that the radio’s on/off button may be used to turn off TP by holding it down for two seconds, pressing 4, and then releasing it. TP yet remains visible on the radio display. Consequently, I am perplexed and unsure of how to remove TP from the display.
How can I stop iDrive?
Right-click the controller to move it. It is possible to disable the display in the options menu. Right-click the controller to move it. To make it easy to turn on and off, make a quick jump key for it.
BMW speed volume: what is it?
You can always hear it clearly no matter what pace you’re going thanks to speed-dependent volume management, which adapts the sound output of your audio system to the current speed of your automobile. To do this, either the radio system has a connection to the CAN data bus or a separate contact is used to pick up the speedometer signal. Then, utilizing the data on the vehicle’s speed, the volume is automatically adjusted. In the options menu for the car, this can be changed.
Why won’t my automobile stop chirping?
Hello, and thank you for your letter. The car will beep at you audibly for a number of reasons. Usually, it serves as a signal that the door is open or that the occupants of the seats are not restrained. One of the sensors for these parts has probably failed if all of the doors, the fuel door, the vehicle, and the hood are securely closed. You should get the car checked for diagnostic codes if there are no warning lights on the dash alerting you to a problem. These should reveal to you which system is picking up an electrical problem. If there are no codes, you must manually check that the input and output signals are reading correctly by using a voltmeter to examine these components. For more assistance with this electrical testing, make an appointment with our service department.
