In that same world people left their windows down and keys in the ignition... while parked with never a worry

The World used to be a quiet place.......
I'm trying to remember my first feed back car ...... I survived quite well with out key buzzers, seat belt reminders, heck...... I've even had cars WITHOUT A RADIO!!!! No lighted switches, etc for years, my first car didn't even have a gas gauge! .... I think my first venture into such luxury was my 68 2 door Chevy Chevelle...... One can survive quite well without a buzzer.

Seriously, chimes are simple things like relays. Find the one you want and wire it in utilizing the factory power and grounding set up.

Has anyone found a good replacement for the door buzzer? I'm looking for a nice quiet chime like on luxury cars. Actually, any chime will do aside from the spine scratching buzzer.
