Default Loud Ding...

I've been getting this loud DINGDING in my truck lately. It's happened 4 times in the last week and it only happens about 10 seconds after I start it. No idiot lights come on and all gauges are showing normal. It's not the normal "door ajar" ding but much louder, kinda like the "fasten seatbelt" ding in an airplane. Any ideas what this is? Thanks for any ideas.

Nope. My horn honks when I do that. This is a loud ding. 17,000 miles and this is something new.

You may need to manually inflate the autopilot

Mine has done that loud ding or beep that you'r talking about. Had mine to the dealer and they think i was just hearing things. i thought maybe it was the radio anti-theft device?

Figures the day after I post this I figure out where the ding was coming from. A good song came on on the way home from work today so I cranked up the volume. Then the ding happened and I noticed that it came from the speaker as the volume cut out just for a couple seconds. It dawned on me to turn on the navagation and check that. Sure enough, there was a navi disc read error. Ejected the disc and put it back in. The ding went away!
