Door chime/warning chime volume


Recommended Posts

Is there a way to adjust the volume of the chimes from when you first enter the vehicle (2017 Edge Sport) along with the collision warning and front/back/side sensor chimes? Not that I want them loud but all of them in my Edge are barely audible.

 

I did have a shop upgrade my stereo with a new Kenwood Excelon amp and iDatalink Maestro unit several months ago and the chimes have been low volume since the install. If that's the cause and there's no adjustability then that's fine, but if it can be adjusted I'd like to know.

 

Also which speaker/speakers does the chimes come from?

 

 

TIA

I thinking about doing the Kenwood / Maestro upgrade to my 17' Sport, Did you notice a difference and how do you like it?

 

Thanks,

Going off topic here but what the hell I never got an answer anyway, actually, I called Ford and asked my question directly and was told there wasn't any way to increase the volume of the chimes. I guess it's a result of the upgrades that were done.

 

As far as noticing a difference in sound from the Kenwood/Maestro install, it's like night and day. To my ears the system sounds fantastic now, best I ever had in any car I've owned. I also had the center channel dash speaker along with the front and rear door speakers(left in the stock tweeters) and sub woofer replaced as part of the upgrade. Also as a result of the install I lost the rear pillar speakers but honestly if I wasn't told, I wouldn't have known.

 

Before the stock system was way to muddy sounding and not nearly as crisp as I prefer. Now I get much more punch along with way more clarity especially at higher volumes, more ratta tat tat on snare drums rather than boom boom boom. The lower bass could be a little tighter and more powerful but I'm happy.

I lost all the eq adjustability from the head unit but everything can be adjusted on a Kenwood app on your phone which is kind of cool to play around with. There's either preset settings for rock, jazz, pop etc or you can tweek every little setting using the pro setting. That gives you all kinds of different eq sine waves to set, all Greek to me but after experimenting with some I found a setting for me that's awesome.

Thanks for the info,

I'm going with the Kenwood DSP amp, upgrading front speakers / center / sub & sub amp / rear pillar amp.

 

I've done a good bit of research and I think I found how you adjust the chime. Page 3 of the Maestro instruction and it explains it.

One other question. Did you radio retain the "Confirmation Beep" when you make a button selection on the screen?

Sorry to bump an old thread but I have the stock sony setup with sub and after I got into the vehicle after coming out of the bank today it now beeps on start up like a warning beep then I noticed it all functions but my warnings ect are all in the cluster now and no longer the stock speakers, is this a programming glitch? Basically like this older thread on the fusion forums but I do have the sony radio and something obviously came loose or something. http://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/9354-special-service-messages-ssms/?do=findComment&comment=88030
