If you have the 13 button OBC then just set the speed limiter to something low .... you can "bong" as often as you like !!

If you've got one it's mounted in the drivers under dash panel.

Amazing how many people hear mine and are surprised that my "old car" has such a sophisticated device!

Mine doesn't work either, but a few months ago i noticed that in the underdash panel, not connected to anything. Will have to try and find the corresponding wiring loom, then i can hear my bong too :D

IIRC it bongs at 3c to warn you of possible black ice ( The worse kind) on the road, then also for the speed limit and I think.. for when the reserve tank light come on???
