Most people pulls the critter out of the dash cause it rubs them the wrong way ..
Years back I worked at a Cadillac dealership, can't recall how many buzzers I unplugged ..

Since I have installed a 75 Cadillac column in my old truck and it having the key buzzer switch built in, figured why not use it ..

The custom made buzzer I'm using can be programed to play a 30 second sound clip of your choice and it loops back to the beginning, keeps playing until you pull the key out or turn off the headlights ...

This was my choice for the chime ... If I get tried of hearing it can always download something else ...

!973 was a long time ago when this music was composed ...
It was the opening theme for a spook movie called "The Exorcist"

I like it cause it's light and airy, not screaming at you like most key chimes do ..

I may change it to this if I get tired of hearing it ??
.... (Or get spooked) ....

Could pull a 30 second clip from "Hey Joe" ..

Being you can write over the existing program that's in it, it's endless ...

The older you get the more you begin to appreciate those annoying buzzers & reminders. After 2 dead batteries, I found and installed a buzzer. No more dead batteries. They say your memory is the second thing to go. I can't remember the first.

That looks like a GMT400 chime thing. This is a pretty cool idea. Did you do the mods? Or where did you get it?
