How did you manage to get a Japanese specs car into America? I had to leave mine behind in Japan.
So the ding dong is driving you crazy? Forget how but it can be disconnected.

Right, the steering wheel being on the proper side of the car, so you can drive on the proper side of the road.
Have fun

In Japan, the steering wheel is on the right side and they drive on the left side of the road. I said proper to mean left. Having both drivers license and having lived in both America and Japan get confused in parking lots sometimes It would be fun to have a car with a right side steering wheel in America. Happy he got that anoying box from his auto. It becomes truly anoying.

Oh the max speed limit in Japan is 100km per hour or about 60 mph. Not high above 100 a little chime starts to go off to remind the driver not to speed. Since his car was meant for Japan it has this chime.
