I went and set the manual alarm to 120, and just get 1 nice beep when passing it, rather than the constant annoying chimes.

Took about 5-10 minutes and I had to set things back to Fahrenheit from Centigrade.
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.

I just got a 2004 996 here in Kuwait. All Kuwaiti vehicles are mandated to have a warning chime/buzzer that goes off when you excede 120kph.
It's not the same as the chimes you can program in through the PCM system, but something else. Anybody know how to disable this annoying chime by chance?
Hey I just returned from a trip in Kuwait and Dubai and saw A LOT of nice P-cars there. Where in Kuwait do you live? We stayed in Salmiya near Sultan Center.
By the way, my friend there owns a 2004 Cayenne Turbo and there was no chime at 120 km/h.
By the OBC, you mean the 3 different alarms you can program in to go off at different speeds? I assumed it was that and going to be an easy fix when I came across it in the manual when I first got it. Unfortunately there is a separate system from that involved as well.
The 120+ kph alarm is a Kuwait only thing, all cars sold here have to have it apparently. I know a lot of people get it disabled, but I haven't tried taking it anywhere and getting somebody to yet. I'm more of the DIY type of guy and would like to know how it works so I can hook it back up to be legal and all before i sell it.
I live in Mangaf and work on camp Arifjan, nicer here than the past year I spent in Afghanistan, not nearly as nice as back home in the states though.Nice
Well, stopped by the dealer the other day and they killed it for free. Took about 5-10 minutes and I had to set things back to Fahrenheit from Centigrade. I went and set the manual alarm to 120, and just get 1 nice beep when passing it, rather than the constant annoying chimes. I'm happy.
Never saw anything close to a Porsche in Afghanistan. Lots of older beat up cars. They typical Toyota Hiluxs (overseas version of the Tacoma) & Land Cruisers. Most of the taxi's are Toyota Corolla's or a Toyota minivan... both of which come in 4 wheel drive. So many potholes in the paved roads, and so much unpaved roads around that I've seen minivans and corollas doing more gnarly off-roading than most U.S H2's will ever do. Most of the heavy trucks are ancient, not uncommon to see 30+ year old trucks lumbering along.
I have some photos of some of the driving located at
