I don't think so; the only setting I saw was to either enable or disable the OBC, which is available in both the Enthusiast version and the Pro version. I will be hooking it up to the car later today and I will check to see if there is a "reset" option or other way to access the OBC from durametric.

How did your chime get enabled? Did you used to have OBC but it became broken?

If you disconnect the battery, that would probably be one way to clear out the settings of the OBC including the chime.

I have OBC enabled but I don't have the stalk or buttons so the outside temp is all I get. And no chime thankfully.

Hi Steve - I just bought the car last week and noticed the beep. I like the idea of disconnecting the battery to see if it clears the limit and will try it as soon as I get it back from the shop (cv boots, windshield and window regulator). Thanks!

Exciting. I ordered a switch last night so I can do this upgrade on my 99. I already have the Durametric.

I haven't looked at the ABS since I thought it was the antilock brake controller?
