The chimes are about to kill me. It is so loud when you put the ignition keys in you want to hold your ears. Is there a way to stop the chiming without replacing the radio? Thanks in advance.

I also have a 2003 Silverado LT w/XM Radio. The chime loudness in mine can be adjusted via the radio. It tells you how in the owners manual.

Chime Level Adjustment
The radio is the vehicle chime producer. To change the volume level, press and hold pushbutton 6 with the ignition on and the radio power off. The chime volume level will change from the normal level to loud, and LOUD will appear on the radio display. To change back to the default or normal setting, press and hold pushbutton 6 again. The chime level will change from the loud level to normal, and NORMAL will appear on the radio display. Each time the chime volume is changed, three chimes will sound as an example of the new volume selected. Removing the radio and not replacing it with a factory radio or chime module will disable vehicle chimes.

Are the only two options loud and normal? Thanks
