I'm use to carrying stuff in trunk & tie lid down. Is there a way to disable the chime? 2012 le.

 

2012 le. boot chime ..

look for the device/switch that activates the chime in the boot release area ....

..not sure where it is exactly .. 2012s use a boot fob

..could be in the boot lid section or down at the floor latch .....find a way to keep that circuit closed

if no other danger to the vehicle safety find the fuse for the chime and pull it out while carrying stuff

replace the fuse when done
