Has anyone hunted down and killed the door/lights/seatbelt buzzer on a late model?

The sound of the factory buzzer is like chinese water torture. Has anyone located and killed this annoying thing?
I looked under the dash and even with it buzzing it's hard to tell where it's coming from.

It's in the GEM as far as I know there is no way to stop it.

 

[jimmyess333]

AH! It's unstoppable!
Maybe I can crack open the GEM and disable the speaker only.
BTW, What's GEM stand for?

GEM = Get Earplugs, Man.

That will stop the sound.





GEM - Generic Electronic Module

okay i opened the dash be hind the radio and there is a black box on the left hand side. open it up but just make sure that the battery is disconnected and pull the black box out. and open it there is a little speaker on the board its black and about the size of a quarter un Solder it and no more ding sorry if this screw anything up it worked for me took 5 mins was praying hole time.

 

[jimmyess333]

YES! There is hope.
Were there speaker holes or does the sound just resonate through the box?

What I would like to do is add a switch to the wire for the door so I could turn it off/on when I listen to music with the door open.

Anyone know which wire I need to splice into?

I did the EXACT thing the ding goes away but the lights stay on. Its because of a stuck pin in the keyhole. There is a Tech article that explains it more in depth.

I just tore the GEM out!
