I do not know for certain but in NZ I would by them at any car parts supplier......

Yellow Hat maybe? www.yellowhat.ae

Any of the car repairs shops in satwa/direa/bur dubai/karama/rashidiya etc would have them i'm sure.

Beepers in Cars.

Do they have their own fuse that I can unplug?

The car I have at present beeps like an armageddon warning the moment I get in the car!:scaredhair:

you can disable the speed beep in a lot of cars, some dealers actually offer to do it for you when you buy it! difficult in Jeeps though, you have to plug in to the engine management computer and tell it that it's in a different country. or you can just disable the speaker but then you won't get any warning sounds at all (like lights-on alarm, low fuel etc).

The dealer can disable the speed warning....for a cost. It's illegal to do so I believe but it is done.

But then again, it may only be illegal to bring a car into the country without speed warning :confused:

Hell, it's Dubai!

Along Sh Zayed Road, near Ace, there are a number of small tool suppliers, many will have what you want depending on the size of fuse. Or use a paperclip!
