Re: what is that beeping sound???

Anyway, I cant figure out what this very low volume beeping sound is? It recurrs every 2 minutes on the dot, whether I am in or out of sport mode, traction control on or off, etc. With the radio on, I can just barely hear it, but it is getting annoying. I have read the owners manual front to back and cant figure it out.

What is my car trying to tell me? Thanks in advance.
Let's try to track this down. Is the sound coming from the footwell speaker located in the black, under-dash trim panel directly above the driver's right foot? This speaker faces downward and has several harnesses which snap into the back side of it. The front PDC uses it, as well as the door-open chime and the chime for the check system warnings (e.g., temp below 37 degrees, speed above XXmph, etc.)

Open the door with the key in the ignition and follow the chime until you've located that speaker. Then try to replicate the conditions under which the beep occurs every two minutes. If the beep is eminating from that speaker, you've narrowed it down a little.
