Beeping sound

[jsbmw]

Every time after start-up and driving for a while, there will be a beeping sound of about 4 to 5 times...beep...beep...beep....beep...no warning message though...any idea what's that?

you were not wearing your seat belt? hahaha

just kidding..

Hand brake not release????

 

[jsbmw]

Oh...the seat belt warning is far too irritating to ignore - always get the job done!

Not hand brake either...

It's kind of a very soothing, somewhat discreet beeping...wonder if it's an indication when the engine is warmed up?

 

[jarance]

sorry bro, cant help there. Thought it could be a stick hand brake switch.

btw, Does the beep goes off by itself? and happen all the time when you start/drive the car?

 

[jsbmw]

Hmmm...didn't notice today...but like I said, 4 to 5 beeps after rolling for couple of minutes. The beeps sure don't sound dangerous though

Hour Memo

Perhaps its the hour memo.

Check your clock each time it beeps - it should be 1 minute before the hour.

yeah.. check the clock each time it beeps....

if you watch RTM 1 long long time ago.. 5 seconds before berita perdana you will hear the same beeps..

is your E60 a Jap spec one? I believe the beeping is caused by the warning from the Navi as you don't have an ETC (Toll card) installed. I have this as well. Very subtle beeping.

Just managed to kill off all the Navi warnings in the car. Damn annoying when you are listening to a nice song and then suddenly the music fades out and you hear this muted voice saying "railroad crossing" or "sharp corner ahead" etc etc..

Hi Affan66
How you kill them?
Please let me know its happened to my E60, 2006 Jap also.

 

[jsbmw]

Suspected it's the hourly reminder yesterday as it last beeped just before the clock turned 9am. Today confirmed! About 5 seconds before the next hour the beeping starts

Mine is Jap spec but the ETC thing just shows "No card" on the display. No beep sound. Also, you should not get any "railroad crossing" or whatever warnings if you have no map no?

 

[affan66]

surprisingly mine shows a map with Jap characters.. the roads and buildings are all wrong...
most of the settings can be switched on and off when the car is not moving. You need to be in Navigation mode and then toggle the settings there.

me dont have any sound even got japan map..err somewhere in nagoya if not mistaken..hehe..

 

[romeor30010]

...talk about the jap map..how can i get rid of the right section of the navi display, anybody? Since i'm not using the gps, can the display of the navi computer be turned off? It 'll be better off watching tv in full screen rather than sharing with something that doesn't work eh...

 

[affan66]

the right section can only show either Navi, display off or Board info (distance, avg speed, etc)

 

[romeor30010]

display off?...u mean the display is darkened or the whole display would only shows the tv/entertainment?...because there's no point to have it eat up the space when its not functioning...

 

[affan66]

i believe darkened.

 

[romeor30010]

...in that case i got that one right. Thanks bro Affan
