  fwiw,
  I don't consider vanagons to have 'door chimes'
  but they do have a key buzzer .....
  which I guess is what's being talked about.
  I *always* remove key buzzers from my vanagons.

  what cars have a chime ? ....honda's ?
  I remember a not-that-oboxious chime on some cars, from when I worked on
  every kind of foreign car . and I don't think I've seen a vanagon with one.
