[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2676031, member: 238814"] It most certainly does need talking to [USER=179219]@dunelm[/USER] I am despairing on what I have found so far. That stupid lane assist cannot be turned off permanently, but is reset to go back on the next time you start the car...how many times do you stop and start the car on a journey to the shops and stuff.... . Similarly a couple of other things, I have found so far are the same. I will see how far I can get with the most important things to me. But I think Plan B will come into operation.... I have a weapon/strategy none of you can use.... Take off my cochlear processor. And that then is no incoming sound. I cannot keep it on my head and turn it off, there is no on/off switch. It turns off when you detach it from your head...and the warning lights...well now I know nothing is going to happen when this siren blaring flashing red lights are frightening the life out of me, then because of no sound incoming I can pretend the car is putting on an electric light show for my entertainment, and I will ignore it totally. I am well aware of basic essential alert icons. And what a basic checklist should be eg double check doors&boot. Check brake is off. My seat belt on. Key in ignition. I do not drive passengers, they do not understand that I cannot turn to lipread them and watch the road to drive on at the same time... Oh great, here is an instruction for the seatbelt alarm... "Finally figured out how to disable that annoying chime for trips in the neighborhood. Unbolt the front driver's seat 4 14mm bolts. Disconnect negative terminal from the battery. Rotate the drivers seat away from the center console so you have access to the buckle. There should be two "wires" going into the bottom of the buckle. Cut the wire in-between the buckle and the seat NOT the wire in-between the seat and the console. Make sure the two strands inside the wire you cut are not touching. Reassemble and enjoy the silence of a chimeless trip. Obviously ALWAYS wear your seatbelt." I wondered why, on some American YouTube videos I watched, why people in the cars were ignoring all the chimes, alerts and other alarm noises, they've got to the stage where they drive without listening to them, and I stopped watching because I couldn't stand it. Plan B is becoming a strong option...after all I learnt to drive, and drove for 50 years with no problems, with no ears... The black cat is Midnight. Popeye is symbolised in my signature for each post. [/QUOTE]
