Re: Beeping above 75mph
Try this:
Turn headlights on.
Pop hood.
Yank battery ground cable off battery post.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Put battery ground cable back on.
Turn off headlights.
Start car and drive test it.
If that does it, be very suspicious of your battery, battery terminal connections, ground cable connection to chassis and the block to chassis connection.
If the battery is 48 months old or older, replace it.
THEN, do one of these mods:

If the above does not change anything - post here again. NOT that I have any more suggestions, but maybe Dave or George or Greg or someone does.

Re: Beeping above 75mph
One other thing. IF this is a Roadster:
Does it beep with top down?
Does it beep with top up?
If the answer is NOT yes to both, that is a clue right there. One "no" and one "yes" indicates that you have a top problem, and the in one case, the system is fine, but in the other case, the cycle apparently did not complete.

Re: Beeping above 75mph
I may have the answer to this. Last week I was running through all the Starscan menu options on my latest Crossfire purchase, and as I recall, I saw listed a 75 mph alarm option. I thought it was strange to have that. I believe it was under the dealer set up options. Hopefully, I can find the time tomorrow after work to confirm this and post a follow up on it.

Now where do we send him to get it turned off?

I remember this popping up before.

(On a related note: I think the reason I don't remember that post is, well, that post was made during a RARE time I had a girlfriend.)

You DID say "Dealer", didn't you?
Re: Beeping above 75mph
It is from my Chrysler Dealer Starscan Scanner hooked up to one of my Crossfires.
The problem is most Chrysler dealers no longer have the original scanners used on the Crossfires. Their current tool is online Witech with the Micropod 2. They will have to request the special "Enhanced" DRB III emulator for it to work on the Crossfire if they no longer have the old scanner. The Enhanced emulator only works with the prior version wired Micropod 2.
The DRB III was for 2004 to 2006 Crossfires, and the Starscan for 2007 and 2008. Both tools require special cables to work with Crossfires. The standard cables that come with them will not work..
