TSCHANNE Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Recently I had the Sony system on my 17 Sport updated with new amps and speakers and now the audio chimes when you start the vehicle and when the tailgate closes etc. are barely audible. I searched around in settings and through the owners manual and can't find if the volume on them is adjustable. Anybody know if it is?

akirby Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 It's not adjustable. You shouldn't be getting chimes when you start the vehicle unless you're not wearing your seatbelt. I think there is a small speaker in the rear for the rear hatch warning that sometimes goes bad but I don't think that's the same as the one for the seatbelts in the front.

TSCHANNE Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I don't know whether we're talking about the same chime ( or tones, bell sounds etc ) but I'm referring to the tones when you first start up and the touch screen fires up. It's nine (three sets of three) tones used and like I said they're barely audible now after my recent stereo upgrade. If it's not adjustable then no big deal, I just like stuff to work like it's supposed to. I'm getting the rear door speakers replaced tomorrow to match the new front ones so I'll check with the installer then. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I don't think I get chimes like that in my 2016 MKX. Anybody else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I press the start button, whether I am starting the car or just accessing the accessories, I get 4 sets of 3 chimes. Just seems like a friendly greeting to me.

TSCHANNE Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 That's what I'm talking about, I had my count wrong on the chimes though Now that I've had the stereo upgrade done those chimes are barely audible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
