Every time I start the new, to me, 2000 E320, there is a LOUD beep,,, like cars I have had that have a phone in them makes. This car doesn't have a phone,,, that I know of. Anyone know how to silence that dang beep ?

Was the car equipped with a phone? Possibly the last owner only removed part of the phone as they are somewhat part of the fiber optic comm bus.

Those fiber optic comm busses sound troublesome. Will a pair of side cutters work ? I really don't know if it had a phone in it or not,,, I'll start looking harder.

My sisters 2000 C280 does the same thing, even though it isn't equipped with a phone.

Loud beep after start up on that vehicle is actually the TELE-AID system turning on. The 2000 C230 did that also, they eliminated it across the board in 2001 to my knowledge.
