120 Chime deactivation

I have a 2023 Suzuki Baleno GLX with the K15B motor and this vehicle has an extremely annoying 120Kph chime.
Where I am located in Dubai the road speeds are 120 and sometimes higher. The constant beeping of this chime is at a point of vehicle sale.
I have brought this up with the local dealer and then with Suzuki Japan. There are many complaints in the region on the sales of all Suzuki vehicles on this issue of the 120 chime as all have the same programming.

I was told by Suzuki that it is not a software reprogramming fix, so I believe the only alternative is EEPROM programming.

Does anyone have the wiring manual and ECU manual for this vehicle?

Factory specific, the chime is usually coded in the bcm firmware depending on vehicle model, then transmitted to the dash ecm via can bus if its post about 2005 vintage
Some have it hard coded in the dash unit. Depends on model and market

Only read and limited bi directional software im not aware of any for coding suzuki bcm or dash units
If you find anything let us know, its bad enough having to use a higher end scan tool to code a new module to a car.

The only documentation for the 2023 models is via a Suzuki service portal. I haven't seen any eeprom information at all, only the overall module wiring
The overspend chime will be firmware based, so until someone hacks the ecm.......and probably the bcm as well......

If you haven't yet realized that these are not two different things, then you're in way over your head - essentially what Suzuki is telling you is not that it is not a software reprogramming fix, but rather, they have no intention of reprogramming it to remove the chime.

Suzuki will not make the internal details of the ECU available to the public, as far as Suzuki is concerned, if there is a problem internal to the ECU, you're going to be replacing it, not repairing it, and the wiring manual won't be of much help in this regard. I don't see Suzuki releasing the EEPROM contents to you, so you're going to need to get your hands on an ECU, that you're willing to sacrifice, possibly unsolder the EEPROM, dump the contents & reverse engineer it.

In a nutshell, the "viability" of a project of this nature lies solely with the abilities of the individual(s) attempting it.

Hi,
Can any readers also reprogram an ecu or an eeprom? Trying to get rid of the 120 kph chime.
You have hijacked a 14 yr old thread, much has changed in the mean time..

You would need a good bi-directional scanner capable of accessing the factory resets. probably less expensive to see dealer or local diagnostician (not mechanic)
