Can anyone tell me what these beeps signify? I get them every time I either start the engine or switch the ignition on. Happens every time either with the stereo on or off. Stereo works fine and I've got no warning lights on the dash. I can't find anything in my owner's manual or the stereo manual either. It's a bit annoying and would love to shut them the hell up.

Sorry never heard that one before!
I'd like mine to stop telling me that a bulb is out when there isn't

Any idea where its coming from? Thats not an Audi noise, so im assuming something aftermarket somewhere.
It's hard to nail down where it's coming from really. The dash area is about as close I can narrow it down to. I'll have a dig around and see if I can find anything aftermarket.

Does you car have an aftermarket phone kit? Check under the steering wheel shroud for thing added. Look for wires etc. Someone added something like that to mine. I stripped it out though.
No sign of an aftermarket kit anywhere, none of the usual holes drilled for the holder or any sign of extra aerials added. The factory fit RNS-E SatNav stereo came with a phone option but if one was ever fitted I have no idea. I'll have dig about and see what I can find.

Going by your dash, that radio wasn't factory fit to your car, its to new. If you remove the radio, or at least the fuse to it, does the noise still occur?

What plate is your car? Mines a 52 that came with every option including satnav, although it was the rnsd, which is far inferior! Looks like yours has been updated to the newer one at some point
Mine's on a 04 plate (registered March 2004).
I would say that you're right about the stereo being an upgrade, I took out the fuse this morning, turned the ignition and for the first time ... no beeps. So the stereo is the problem.
VCDS shows the following codes:
00857 - CD Changer Unit (R41) 004 - No Signal/Communication
00466 - Control Module for Steering Column Electronics (J527) 008 - Implausible Signal
So maybe problem stems from these.

You would need to change the coding, so your car knows you have that steering wheel. Also you need to check if you have that part of the look behind the stereo.

Again, i think it depends on what the wiring is there, I threw an airbag out a few months ago with buttons. You could have had it!
Just to put this thread to bed, I took my glove compartment out today as one of the hinges had broken and cable tied up under the dash was a small box with Parrot on it. So someone had fitted a hand-free kit in the past.
I disconnected it and now get no annoying beeps when I start the car. That's been doing my nut in for months now.
Now to fix the glove box.
