speed warning r32 ?

[predator]

Being stock as they come, my R32 appears to have a speed warning, which seems to chime on dead past 110km/hr. It's half broken I think so it sounds like a little bird is dying in there.

Basically how can I remove it? Where can I find it? It appears to be coming from under the dash, but bit hard to check under there whilst trying to successfully travel 110km/hr..

thanks.

youll have to remove the bottom plastic panel from under your dash then

theres a little white box to the left of the steering coloum i think theres only one

thats the offender. If your car is auto its also the reverse beeper

[The Dan]

correct. I can confirm this. That little beeper is the most annoying thing. Especially when it's dieing.

yeah, i still have the reverse beeper too.. mine is auto currently, until I get the manual box in there.

I will have an attempt at killing the birdy tomorrow Thanks for the help guy + girl

I have this too! Go the stock cars. Mine was so soft that (since my aircon wasn't working) when I had the windows down I didn't hear it. I only noticed the door bell sound a few days ago: seems to kick in at almost exactly 108KM/H.

I'm leaving mine in for now as, since I am on Green Ps (stupid NSW) with a 100KM/H limit, its quite handy

There is a description of how to kill it in "The Sky is the Limit" book.

Remove the 100 km/hr overspeed warning - R32

Sounds horrible doesn't it?

• Remove the plastic panels under the driver's side dashboard.
  
• Drop the steering column (using the height / reach adjustment)
  
• Remove the instrument cluster. The small aluminium box on a bracket behind the cluster is the noisemaker. Be very careful with the speedo cable – there is a plastic sleeve than is prone to splitting where the cable enters the back of the speedometer. It can be fixed with some heat shrink tubing or at a pinch some PVC tape.
  
• Disconnect the spade terminal, and remove the dingdong box. Peace at last.

Weird, mine has the reverse beeper, but no speed warning, reverse is clearly audible. Is this the same beeper that alets you your headlights are on and keys are in the ignition? How do you stop the keys one, most annoying thing ever. I have NEVER forgoton my keys!!!

[Iopia]

the noise comes from the same place you just need to find the right signal to stop certain things making it beep

mine also does not have 110kph beep but does have all others

The ding dong speed chime on my 32 was mounted on the back of the speedo.

It died when I ignored it for 30km on the freeway then it pinged and clunked until I threw it out.

Just pull the speedo and it's obvious which part it is and how to remove it.

[=premo=]

i think that the speed warning is suposed to come on at 105km/h (as mine and a mates does (imported R32 four doors)) mine is more dead than his so i havnt been botherd to get rid of it yet. i took my mates off it was simple and took less than 20min. im still yet to pull mine off and find out how they work, (mine quite often makes a 3 in one noise and when going downhill it doesnt make any noise).

when you take off the ding-dong box, smash it with a hammer, and post pics... (check first to make sure you pulled out the right box)

drives you insane on western/hume hwy where limit is 110km/hr. I can never be bothered taking it out, might be something to do this afternoon...

Reviving an old thread I know. I didn't smash mine with a hammer. I connected it up with the wrong polarity to the battery to see if would make a sound and it blew up. Lot's of smoke and heat haha.

So I finally got feed up with that dam ding dong noise, removed the under dash shroud and the cluster shroud, and the cluster came right out quite easily.

The overspeed warning box is attached to the back cluster so the cluster does indeed need to be removed, you can't reach it from underneath the dash.

The noise when reversing comes from a different box altogether, witch is able to be reached from underneath. However this box also controls the automatic transmission lock, so I didn't bother with it.

Have uploaded some photos for clarity...
