Ok guys. I'm totally confused with this one. I have noticed sometimes when I turn my car off it will chime until I exit the vehicle and close the door and then sometimes it doesnt do this it at all. What's the catch?

You may have a defective door jam switch which seems to be a problem for many owners. I have the same issue and when I open the door and press the door jam switch and release it, the chiming stops.

So when it chimes what is it thinking? I've read about the defective door jam switches and my lights always go off on their own. And it seems to only chine during the day when the lights are off

Try not openning your driver's door until you have shut off the car. When my car does this most often I think I am often openning the door with my left hand while pushing the off button with my right hand. I haven't paid too much attention but would be interested to know if this works for you. Or maybe it is related to when I am unfastening the seatbelt.

It happens to me when I leave the moonroof up, turn off the car and open the door. The display shows "Moonroof Open ". Only having the car 3 weeks it gets me every time because it sounds like a normal alarm when you leave your lights on in any other car. No message is popping up on your dashboard screen?

I always open the door with the engine running, I sorta like the chiming thing. The one I hate is the seat belt chime reminder, that thing goes into crazy mode when you don't buckle up, ding, ding ding They even have another alarm chime outside the car if you stop the LS and leave it in gear, that one is loud as I found out when I left my car in gear at the Vet, I had to bail seriously quick because my crazy cat took a dump in her cat carrier on the front seat, luckily the car was on level ground. That chime is constant and set off this dudes alarm on his Honda next to mine, pretty cool though.

As for the outside buzzer, yeah it's loud. I think this volume can be reduced by a little **** in the right knee bolster area. You have to get down on the floor and look up to see it.
Yes ... the cat dump part of this story is FUNNY!

wow i've heard the alarm, but didn't know that it was something outside of the car!?
as for the seat belt noise, my grandparents have learned that in their RX will stop dinging in 30 seconds and just leave their belts off! lol!

That beep sound outside the car alerts you when your key is seperated from the car etc. Volume **** is underneath the driver foot well. Rotary **** next to tpms benchmark button

You can defeat the belt chime in the personal settings. In the 2010+ it's a simple affair. Pre-2010 the dealer has to do it (but easy enough). Mine is defeated, I love not having the chime as I know if I do or do not have on my seat belt ... I don't need a chime.
