on mine, you can turn the reminder beeps off, but if you disconnect the battery and the radio memory gets reset, they will turn back on.

If they disconnected the battery prior to installing the top, this could cause a 'supply voltage' fault in any or all of the control modules.

Sounds like you'll have to get it hooked up to a PWIS or PST2 Tester (dealer or independent) and readout/reset any alarm codes.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just had a new GAHH top placed on my car. (glass window and defroster). Ever since the replacement top was installed, I hear 5 short beeps every time I turn off the car. No warning lights. Doesn't really bother me, but I thought someone may know what the beeps may mean and if I need to do anything. Thanks Eric

POST 2Original post

The only things that I know of that causes beeps is door opened while keys in car, lights on, seatbelt, and speed limit chime. Is it the same kind of beeping you hear from those alerts? And what year is your car?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Jeph: No, a totally different sound. I have a 2000 (non-S). There are 5 short beeps that are much softer sounding than the warning beeps for the lights on, etc. Weird!

POST 4Original post

do you have an aftermarket stereo head unit? mine beeps five times after i shut of the car to remind me that i've left the faceplate in the dash.

POST 5Original post

Sounds like you'll have to get it hooked up to a PWIS or PST2 Tester (dealer or independent) and readout/reset any alarm codes. If they disconnected the battery prior to installing the top, this could cause a 'supply voltage' fault in any or all of the control modules. This could cause the beeps you're hearing. You might try using a simple OBDII reader, but I'm not sure these will give you alarm codes.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Lil Bastard: Thanks. They did disconnect the batttery. I bet that is the problem. Appreciate the help. By the way, I do have an aftermarket radio, but have never heard the beeps until the battery was disconnected. Eric

POST 7Original post

on mine, you can turn the reminder beeps off, but if you disconnect the battery and the radio memory gets reset, they will turn back on.

POST 8Original post

If you've got an after market radio there is a wire on the left hand side of the radio frame that you need to disconnect. I think it's brown and blue. If you leave it connected and replaced the head unit the car thinks the head unit was stolen. I saw this tip on this forum and removed mine when installing the Avic D3
