I just picked up my 2018 X4 yesterday, so my apologies if I'm missing something obvious. When I hop in the car and turn the ignition on, it's a veritable symphony of various startup chimes that all play through the factory radio.

Is there a way to disable all of these? I assume one is for the seat belt and the other might be a temp warning (it's freezing out) but they are loud as hell and don't seem to correspond to the radio volume.

They're something that I myself could ignore, but any time I bring a sleeping newborn into the car (my wife is 9 months pregnant) it's most certainly going to wake up. How do I go about disabling these, or at the very least lowering the volume?

Thanks!

Ask your SA for a local source to do coding. Warning tones and screens can be disabled among other helpful and preferred changes. D

Definitely do NOT ask your SA for that info. Coding is not supported by BMW in any way.

You can visit the coding forum online. There are also people who can do remote coding sessions, like Almaretto

I've done some digging around, and I think the "Gong/PDC" volume is what I'm looking to set. If I grab the radio volume knob when it's going off (right when I start the car) the volume display switches to Gong/PDC, but unfortunately twirling the knob doesn't raise or lower it.

Almaretto is a good source for coding info.

I got my local coding name from my sales assistant. Worked for me. YMMV

It is in IDrive sound settings. Plus, you can code different sound signal set (eg, rolls royce).
