Key-In chime question
Has anyone came up with a solution to eliminate the key-in chime on the 2010's yet? I did the wire snip thinggy on my '05 and it was simple and didn't affect anything else. I wish there was a similar cure for my '10 but it's got a lot more stuff on it and I don't want to disable anything other than the key-in chime. I use my truck around the farm a lot and hunt out of it a good bit and it is SO aggravating taking the key out everytime you need to hop out for a minute.
On a praise note- I really love this truck. Decided to go with the '10 Screw Lariat 4x4 and the 5.4 and got all the rebates. Ended up getting Nav/Sync radio, lariat chrome and lariat plus pkg's that I probably wouldn't have gotten without the rebates. I believe it's the quietest cab I've ever ridden. Great job Ford!

Good to know....I HATE that damn noise!!! My 2001 model didn't bother me at all, but this one is annoying!
I don't quite understand what he was talking about with the unlock feature?? Is that when your keys are in the ignition and the doors auto unlock?

Yeah, its an auto unlock feature so that if you leave your keys in the ignition and hit the door locks, they automatically unlock to prevent locking your keys in the truck. I've got a key pad so disabling this won;t be a problem.

You may already know this but the seat belt chime is easy to turn off per the owners manual.
BTW...did the key-in delete today and it worked great. What a relief! As far as I can tell nothing else whatsoever is affected. I was worried that it might affect the easy entry feature but it doesn't. Now if I could eliminate those 4 chimes every time you crank it up I'd have everything covered.

Anyone remember that buzzer sound from the trucks in the 80's? That had to be the most annoying sound ever!
