Except for the nav, most people would consider the occasional beep to be a petty minor issue. Except for the nav thing, these things have been around for ages, and if you’re struggling with them that heavily, I would suggest that features that have been pretty standard for 30+ years that the issue might not be the features.

> most people would consider the occasional beep to be a petty minor issue. Ok so you didn't actually read my comment. Granted it was long, but if you're going to reply you should probably actually read it

  I read your comment, hyperbole and all. The seat belt dinging is a minor inconvenience. The key fob honking can probably be controlled via your car settings. I turned the honking off on my car, now it softly dings at me once. You're being very, very dramatic, is my point. If the seat belt alarm is that ear splitting, you might want to talk to a doctor?

    There wasn't any hyperbole. It's loud enough that it is physically painful, not just annoying. And if you read what I said, it's not the "occasional beep", it's a continual blast of loud tones. And I already looked through the car settings for the horn, and it can't be turned off. Some people on the internet have figured out how to hack it off with OBD2, but if that's what you're suggesting then that's ludicrous and extreme HN bubble. I tried it anyway, but even if it had worked, suggesting people do that is not in any way a reasonable answer to the problem (though is more reasonable than what you're doing, which is dismissing it as not real without even experiencing it). And thanks for the free medical advice, but I actually have talked to a doctor and I actually have minor hearing loss, not hearing gain or whatever medical "problem" you think might cause people to hear something louder than it is.

      What people are saying is that your experience is a wildly rare one and that for >99% of the population, the things that are troubling you so much are simply non-issues. No offense, but if you haven’t, you might consider anti-anxiety or similar drugs. Not saying it isn’t real, or that it’s your fault, but there is a big difference between it being real and it being entirely caused by the car. Is there some reason you can’t simply sell your car and get a different one? For the amount of pain you say you are in, this seems like an easy and direct solution?
