Thank God they don't have that in Canada. Almost everybody here does 120km/h on our highway. Infact going to work I'm typically doing 140km/h.

The 5 speed evo x doesnt do this! I think its only the MR's! There are no laws regarding that beep in the gulf...

There was a thread about this before. Some non-US models have the chime. It *might* be able to be disabled through the ECU.. but a sure way to get rid of the chime is to take out the gauge cluster.. then on the back of it you'll see a little black round cylinder with a small hole in it (speaker).. desolder that to eliminate the sound or put a sticker over the hole so the chime isn't as loud. Then put the gauge cluster back in and you're good to go.

No luck with the dealer “removing the beeper is a Liability” , is there a way to access the dealer advance setting menu?? Before I start taking things apart from my 2 week old evo.

well just received info from the Dubai delerships that it can be done through the MUT they have at the dealership. I personally used it and tried entering every option available but couldnt find it. Ill be calling the DXB dealers and see if he can walk me through the process.
