Disable startup chimes

I have both bimmercode and protools and I can't seem to find where there are....

When I start the car there are 3 of the BMW gongs... I have no idea even what they are for or what module it causing them to gong but I'd certainly like to turn them off. I tried reaching out to Protools support and they didn't seem to have any clear direction where to turn these off (Assuming that you even can?)

So I thought I would reach out to everyone and see if you guys have disabled those 3 start gongs and where/how you did it?

Theres 3 pop ups you can disable for startup, its in the head unit section or "popular coding", the gongs you are hearing is because you need to learn to wear your seatbelt.... You can code those out too.

So I was never ever able to located this in Protools. It wasn't in the popular coding stuff in several of the modules I checked.

However since Protools support told me it was likely in the air bag module I went back to that area in BimmerCode and I did find it in the popular coding options. I disabled the driver seatbelt chime and now we have silence when I start the car!

For reference I always wear my seatbelt, but I usually start the car first and then put on my seatbelt.... The chimes are maddening But gone now!

I don't mind it when the gongs/chimes get changed to Rolls Royce / BMW i. Give those a try.
