changing the lights on tone
is there a way to change the lights on tone? or is it just one of those electrical things that suck *** and can not be modded...I was thinking of somehow maybe modding to get it to be like the BMW's that polyphonic tone that doesn't hurt your ears....

can the rest of us get a little clarification??? are you talking about when you have your door open, lights on, and you get that long beep sound? here's a fix: shut the door!

nice damn.....if only i'd of thought to shut the door...I can't believe I drive with it open and leave it open all the time while it's parked..rain shine..lights on...lights off....
no seriously.....I'm not looking for a fix...I'm looking for a mod....there is a difference...fix means to repair mod means to change or upgrade...yeah I didn't look those up in the dictionary...i actually went to school lol

Rep Power: 252 WHAT HE MEANS is, the "reminder tone" you hear coming from your dash if you try to get out of the car with the headlights still on
I was actually wondering about this myself the other day, not because I wanted to mod it, but because I wanted to unplug it!
Well actually, I just wanted to unplug the one that dings when you have the door open with the key in, but I am suspecting it's the same one, and just emits an intermittent or constant tone based on what it is trying to remind you about, key in ignition = beep beep beep beep, lights on = beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
I don't know, because I've not bothered to investigate, but just sticking my head under the dash it sounds as if it's coming from up behind the instrument cluster...

Rep Power: 0 here's another potential source for wiring info (bear in mind it's for 95-97 Civics):
http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/CivicMa...df/23-a133.pdf
for the record, my honda odyssey has the soothing "bing bong" lights on reminder, vice the shrill "beeeeeep" of my civic. Maybe the beeper or circuit is interchangeable?

Rep Power: 252 Hey guys, JC Whitney has door chimes that play Elvis' "Love Me Tender" 
Just kidding, I mean they do, but...
Now if it played the Vapors' "Turning Japanese" I'd be all over it
Seriously, I'm not sure what could be done, but step one is to figure out where the noisemaker is actually located - anyone?
Once you find it a simple voltmeter test could determine what the pins are doing and from there hit Radio Shack or a junk yard?
I've always thought those 3 tone chimes that some '80s VWs had were pretty cool. Anyway just about anything is better than "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP"
(except maybe Love Me Tender...
)

Rep Power: 811 i wish i could turn those noises off. but most are built into the gauge cluster. You can disconnect the door trigger, but then dome lights and alarm sensor won't work.
