There's a speaker in the clocks that bongs when you open the door. It's a nice sound. I've installed aftermarket parking sensors in the rear bumper and they look totally OEM. The only thing that's not OEM is the sound of them, as it has a cheap tinny beep coming from the supplied speaker.

The wires that go into the supplied speaker are your generic 12v and ground. I'm wondering, how simple would it be to splice into the OEM speaker in the clocks?

Just a thought.
