2019 X5 chime/Gong

Is there any way to have the older chime/gong to the latest iDrive 7?
May be by a sound file loaded to system back-end?

I miss the old tune and prefer it better than the new one.

I've got a 2019 X5 by the way.

You can code this to choose different sound themes but it hasn't been reverse engineered yet for the G05 so it's not available. Hopefully it will be soon.

I've thought its just a track that you can download somewhere on the hard drive and play.

Thanks for the reply

On my F30 it was a choice between BMW, Mini or Rolls Royce sound themes. You couldn't pick any sound you wanted unfortunately.

Your best option right now would be disabling the seat belt chime all together with coding. You can't upload whatever tone you like or revert back to the old BMW's chimes because it doesn't exist within the new system anymore.

Theres a another route which is enabling the current "Rolls Royce" chime which sounds much better. But its difficult to access the new Idrive 7 system for coding. You need to find a good coder to do it...
