Turning off "Key in Ignition" chime

Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to turn off the annoying "Key in Ignition" warning chime that sounds when you open the drivers door, or is it something that Land Rover will have to do next time it's in?

I managed to get LR to turn off the seatbelt chime because it get's really annoying when you are constantly jumping in and out to check lines/clearance when off-roading. I'm now finding the keys in ignition chime annoying also.

The seat belt one was easy to do...key in position II, click in and out 10 times the seat belt to disactivate it, same to put it on again...


For the key, don't think it is possible. Range Rover Vogue ‘17 TDV6

9 times on mine... and it binged to let you know you'd managed.

Quite why car manufacturers see the need to annoy you with a seat belt chime is beyond me.

Don't mean to be pedantic but do you have to be sitting in the seat when doing this or not? Lol 2014 RRS

Aye, but I'm in England. That implies some semblance of intelligence and self-reliance. I don't need a car telling me I haven't put on something that I already know I haven't put on.

A menu item saying "turn off all silly noises" would be a damned good idea.
