When your door is open there is a constant beep which is emitted by your car. If you do any work on the interior and have the door open, this can be a real pain. In order to fix it you will just need to disconnect one wire.

You will need to get behind the stereo in the dash. It's not a big deal. Pry off the surrounding piece of plastic (it's not screwed on, just snapped in). Remove the four screws holding the "deck unit" to your car. Once those are out, you can pull the stereo bundle forward. Behind the stereo there should be one and only one blue wire. Cut or disconnect this (your preference). Voila, now when your door is open you no longer have a constant beeping.

+Like most cars, the Mitsubishi 3000GT/GTO and Dodge Stealth has a buzzer that sounds when the keys are in the ignition and the driver-side door is open. This was implemented to remind us ''not'' to lock our keys in the car, but to most, this sound is just an annoyance. With that said, disabling the buzzer (either permanently or temporarily) is easy to do and can be done in about 5-10 minutes. Best of all, this mod is free.

-#Remove bracket by stereo (using a flat screwdriver)
+'''Tool Required'''
-#Unscrew 4 visible screws
+* Flathead Screwdriver
-#Pull stereo straight out in a upwards motion
-#Now is a good time to document the numbers on the stereo. If you ever disconnect the negative terminal on the battery you will need the numbers to get the security code from a Mitsu dealer to reactive the deck
+'''Preparation'''
-#See pic attached... UNPLUG THE BUZZER in the upper right hand corner of the stereo bay
-#Put stereo back in place
+If you are still using the stock headunit, and if you disconnect the power to the headunit, it may require a 4-digit security code when you plug it back in (as a theft deterrent 'feature'). If you've been given  this code in the past, you may want to find it now. However, if you don't have it, it is possible to retrieve this code from the Mitsubishi dealership over the phone or in-person (by providing them with your stereo's part number and serial number). It should be noted that not all year/model OEM headunits seem to require a code, and is more commonly found in headunits included in the 3000GT as opposed to the Stealth.
 #Rescrew 4 screws
-#Attach stereo bracket
+'''Procedure'''
-#Put key in ignition.. open door... and relax in the silence
+# Remove the plastic frame around the stereo headunit
