Default Polite beeping noise

Maybe MY05 only, but pulling away after a stop to lower the roof when it stopped raining, heard a "polite" beeping noise .... quickly realised I was being told that I was moving with the Handbrake still applied (was only just on enough to enable activating roof....) hadn't noticed this feature mentioned in the manual.

Wonder what other "idiot" proof beepings she is capable of

I remember Mark mentioning this

Also the other beep that I hate is the one when you turn the engine on without your seatbelt on

The bleep that bugs me is the "key in" one. You need the key in the ignition to hear the stereo, but everytime you open the driver's door .... AAARGH. Drives me mad whilst cleaning the car. I KNOW the key is in the ignition, thank you!

Is it possible to isolate the stereo from the ignition so that it will operate without the key in? (My wife's Vauxhall Meriva can do this!!)

Just turn it to position 2 and it will stop beeping. Just remember to turn off your air con fans to save the battery!

Also, robs, just disconnect the plug under your seat and no more seatbelt reminder.
