Nope. Can't be done without messing with a lot of security stuff apparently.

I find taking the key out does the trick 
Which is a security measure, of a sort  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Or just turn the key one more position in the barrel. Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

It can be turned off via the diagnostics machine. Dealer can be royally shafted if found out though...

Does anyone know what its for? Is it if you unlocked car, key in, then someone it autolocked and you happened to be on the wrong side of a rather locked door?!
We have only had ours two days, its already annoying... I can see its value in tiny number of situations, and its curse in nearly all others!

pretty sure that when I was reading the manual the other day it said that the dealer may remove this warning sound if wanted.
