Sony CDX-C6850 CD Player - Disable Alarm?
My Sony CDX-C6850 CD player beeps at me -- six beeps -- every time I
turn of the ignition, warning me to remove its face plate and take it with me to avoid theft. Considering that the player's market value is now down to pocket change, and the 12 year old minivan it's installed in is not exactly a theft magnet, and we park it in our garage anyway, I am not concerned about theft, and don't want to take the face plate with me. However, that series of six beeps is annoying. How can I disable the alarm? Thanks, Greg |

Download the manual then do a search for "beep". "Greg Lovern" wrote in message ...

Sony CDX-C6850 CD Player - Disable Alarm?
It says, on page 6, under the heading "Caution alarm":
"If you connect an optional power amplifier and do not use the built- in amplifier, the beep sound will be deactivated." Is there any other way to disable the "caution alarm" (the alarm that happens when you turn off the car's ignition without first removing the CD player's face plate) without going to an external amp? According to the Sony, this is how the do it on their current models, too. I find it very annoying and will probably replace the CD player if I can't disable the caution alarm (it came installed in a used car I just bought a week ago). Surely I am not the first person to find this so annoying. I've never had this issue with any other CD player in any of several cars, and I've never noticed it in any car I've been a passenger in, either.
