Question 'Camera System' Chime on Reverse

To cut a long story short, I had my car into the dealership this week to refurb an alloy that I scuffed coming out of a multi-storey car park (D'oh!)

When in, I mentioned that I could hear some wind noise occasionally when on the motorway and a gust of wind blew across me - as if the window was slightly ajar.

They road tested the car, and confirmed they could hear the noise - and then road tested it with me present to make double sure. They then extended the loan car for an extra day after refurbing the wheel. (It was a 2013 116d M Sport in bright orange. Great looking car, cool colour. Drove well too, for what it was albeit the manual gearbox was a bit notchy...)

They took the wind noise really seriously - replaced the seal in the door AND the driver side wing mirror. Apparently BMW recently revised the design of the mirror assembly to remove a small gap that meant air got caught as it flowed past contributing to the noise. This was at a cost of £380 + VAT at 20% + Labour. Thankfully, the car is new and therefore this was a warranty job... I think the issue is cured, time will tell.

Anyway, to the point - since I got the car back, every time I put it into reverse and the top view camera comes on, the car chimes and 'Camera System' displays in the dash and in the HUD. Cameras appear to work fine.

It didn't chime before - is this normal?! How do I turn the chime for this off - I don't want a "BING" every time I select reverse - it's most annoying!!

Cheers,

Chris.
