Thread: Kill the Hilux seat belt beep in 2 minutes !

Yeah bloody door chime is not able to be stopped.
Not without losing key proximity and a whole lot of other features you'd still want.

Even in my older KUN26 Hilux that bloody noise can't be stopped.
I've just got into the habit of taking the key out and dropping in the drink holder in the door whenever I get out on the farm

My KUN26 doesn’t have a door chime.

It’s the Aussie spec SR.

I’m trying to remember what I did to stop it, but so far no luck. Maybe it didn’t chime in the first place? I know the first thing I did was turn off the seatbelt chime. Might be worth googling it with the search term +newhilux.net because the Aussie forum used to be a brilliant resource of info.

EDIT: remembered, I unplugged a wire from the key cylinder after removing the lower steering column cowling. There’s a guide to this somewhere.

Another edit. Memory must be starting to fail… it is 8 years ago though so forgive the uncertainty.

For the door chime on the KUN26R: After first disconnecting the “key in barrel” plug there was a concern that the circuit would interfere with the SRS / airbags so we plugged it back in, and pulled out the dash cluster and removed the speaker from the little bleeper, which kept the circuit intact (as different from removing the bleeper altogether).

Disconnecting that key sensor stops the immobilizer system from working properly. As well as a number of other things Toyota saw fit to tie it in with.
Working for Toyota we have tried all sorts of things for customers. Basically not worth the hassle.
Have seen the actual piezo speaker removed, but then you also lose warning beep for other things like lights on etc
